Destroying iPad Mini 1 I would like to know how long an iPad Mini would need to stay in water in a way that it is never ever usable again. I know this is a bit unusual, but I'd really like to get rid of the old device and I'm also curious what it would take to destroy the device. I've already had my device a day ago for about 22 hours in the water, but I can still use the device without any major problems. In fact, this post was written on it. 

So would anyone know how long it would take to completely destroy the device?
Proven method is to use a hammer as practiced by Hillary Clinton.

Not even FBI could crack those devices.

Leaving it in water will not destroy the memory chips (they are sealed).
