No the new update does not actually make your iPhone waterproof. However, there is a very convincing ad that has been circulating the internet claiming that once you update your iPhone to the latest software update, it will now have waterproof capabilities. The ad states that a new emergency shut off switch will activate if it detects that it is in water to protects its delicate circuits. It even claims that this new waterproofing technology is covered by Apple's warranty. Please note that a change in software could not make the hardware running it impervious to water. Even if the power was shut off, the phone could, and most likely would, still end up damaging the device. So please, if you do have an iphone, have upgraded it to iOS 7, and have seen this ad, DO NOT try testing out its waterproofing capabilities or you will end up being a very sad iPhone user.
