iOS 7, Apple’s latest mobile operating system for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch sports an all-new user interface and comes with 200 new features and improvement such as the all-new Control Center, smarter multitasking, AirDrop, iTunes Radio and some really cool hidden features, but it does not (and cannot) include waterproofing feature.

“Whoever said ios7 was waterproof **** you,” wrote one user on Twitter.
“whoever said ios 7 was waterproof go die as i almost broke my phone,” wrote another user on Twitter.
