Dropped iphone 5 into toilet

So my iphone 5 fell into the toilet earlier today, i took it out practically straight away (it was in there for about 5 seconds at the most) i took it out anyway and dried off any visible water with a towel, then i removed the case and did the same, after that i turned the phone off but it turned itself on more or less straight away but i knocked it off again and it stayed off. Then i put it in a bowl of rice and placed it in the hot press.
I'm going to leave it there for 48 hours but i'm just wondering if there's much hope of it actually working again! As everyone is aware the iphone 5 is a very expensive phone and i'm obviously sickened.
Someone with experience please give me your opinion on how i handled the situation, did i do everything right?(apart from dropping it in the toilet obviously) and do you think there's much hope?

48 hours should do it

It worked for my ipod touch 4, so it should be fine… Hope it doesn't spoil

Yes there's Hope. Just think positive. If your phone has a warranty Call the company and explain what happen and try to get a replacement phone. Sorry to hear about your phone.

Your phone is f**ked. If your electronic gadget gets wet you have to take out the battery right away. (the components can survive a long time under water, but not if the battery is in)

Also, don't use your phone while on the toilet

It worked when my mom spilled a glass of water on her phone, so it should.

It'll survive!

  • If I dropped an Iphone 3gs into a toilet, what parts of it would probably work? Ok so I dropped an Iphone 3gs in the toilet, I'm trying to figure out which parts of it still work so I can sell them. I'm wondering if the lcd screen will still work after being submerged in water? Can the glass and digitizer still work?
  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet.what should i do? I dropped my iPhone in the toilet last night at 3 a.m. And i put it in minute mexican rice for the time i was asleep. My lock button and speaker won't work and it randomly just turns off and i can't turn it back on. I went and got white rice this morning and it is currently sitting in a bowl with the white rice. What do i need to do?
  • I dropped my iphone in the toilet and after it went all black and won't turn on? I had dropped my iphone in the toilet and it was fine for about 2 hours then it just went black and won't turn on. What do i do to fix it?
  • I dropped my Iphone 5 into the toilet? It was in my pocket then it fell into the toilet. I immediately took it out and dried it. It works fine, no problem. At first there was a problem with the speaker but now its fine. But it says "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably" even though I'm not using any. Is it safe to charge it? I turned it on and off and this is the only problem I have.
