Iphone got submerged in water because I fell in water?

I was fishing with my cousin and I sliped down this steep slope and my phone was under water with me in this river! I went to my cousins house and put it in rice… Few minutes later I picked up my phone and the screen was working and I could swipe and what not. But power button didn't work. The flash light ( camera flash) wouldn't turn off also… My uncles friend told me to keep it in rice and let it die… I couldn't turn it off so I just let it die… Today I went home and plugged it in the charger… And it was charging! The apple logo appeared and light came on again, then random writing popped up above the logo.

My dad said he is taking it to this guy who cleans and fixes phones… And I was just wondering is this phone repair guy going to need my password and what not and go through my stuff? Because I really don't want to give him my password to my phone!

Probably not, as long as he knows the issues you've stated are fixed he won't need to touch your stuff, I know the anxiety handing someone your phone, even when you don't have anything wrong on your phone it just feels weird

  • 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 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?
  • Is it possible to fix an iphone 4s which have been submerged into water? I dropped my Iphone 4s into the toilet bowl recently. I did quickly fished it out in less than 5 seconds but i tried to test and use it for a while and a few minutes later it shut down on its own. The next morning i send it for repair. It has been 4 days since i send it for repair. Is it possible to save it? I'm really worried, if you send it for water repair does it usually take so long?
