IPhone completely submerged in water?
This is probably going to be an incredibly bizarre story, but I promise this is the situation I'm in and I need help.
For the past few summers, my friends and I have made it almost a tradition to go out to a canal close by and catch ducklings. It's stupid and we shouldn't do that, I know. I've gotten the schpeel before. Today since it's warming up we went out to go get some, and a particular black duckling had made it pretty close to the shore so naturally i grabbed my butterfly net and went forward to get it. I was leaning in, and usually the shore is pretty firm so I wasn't worried about falling, but I was stupid and totally forgot about my phone at the time.
Long story short the ground gave way and I tumbled into the dirty canal water face first. Not only did I get a mouthful of the water, but my iPhone 5 in my front pocket did too. Of course my first reaction was to lift it out suddenly and raise it above water, so I saved it from being submerged for more than the 2 seconds it took for me to overcome the shock of the cold water nearly drowning me.
The duckling got away, so it wasn't even worth falling into the canal. Boo.
Anyways, I walked home (about 10 minutes) and immediately removed the leather case and put it in rice. It's been there for about 3 and a half hours. I just now removed the sim card, the screen protector, and the button sticker to see if that would help. I'm just worried about my iPhone and I'm wondering if my phone has any hope.
Let it dry several days and hope it wasn't damaged

- What to do if iPhone gets submerged in pool? Ok, so my iPhone 5s was in the Lifeproof case and I took it swimming with me. The charging port came open and some water got in and water probably got in the phone. The water has chlorine in it and I heard when the phone dries, it leaves residue behind and you should treat it in a pure grain alcohol bath. I only have 70% Isopropyl alcohol. Will this work?
- My IPhone works completely fine sometimes but a lot of times I can't use it and it's completely unresponsive to my touch? I scheduled an appointment to fix my very cracked screen and I was just wondering if this will fix my problem for sure or is there something else that may be causeing the screen to be unresponsive?
- My iphone was fully submerged in a pool for several minutes? I'm trying the rice method which I have read about with mixed results, but I assume it is going to be a complete loss. I have read something about an out of warranty replacement. It is a 4s and bought less than a year ago. Does anyone have experience with this?
- My iphone 5 got fully submerged in water So I was swimming with my friend in our lake and my iPhone 5 was in my pocket. And I jumped in. We swam for about 5 minutes. When we came back. Well, you know the rest. Now, I let it dry and plugged it in. Came on, no water damage on screen. Looked fine. But shut off shortly after. Is this recoverable? If so, how?
