Dropped iphone into the water and i don't know what to do?

So i dropped my iphone 6 into a lake and it was longer than 3 minutes in the water. It won't turn on and i don't know what to do.

Stick a fork in it, it is done.

Rob a best buy

If you bought it with credit card, might get back part of refund to buy another new one if the credit card contains purchase insurance coverage. Otherwise, repair cost as high as more than 50% from its purchase price.

Do people not pay for insurance on their phones now? My phone is covered by my insurance, even for water damage.

Try the bag of rice trick and see what happens

Put it in uncooked rice for a few hours, if you are really lucky the the rice will absorb the water. Do not tyry to turn it on until its dry. Open the case & remove the battery also.

Take it to a phone shop and hope its not too late.

Do not mess with it and do not connect a charger.

The "rice trick" is an urban myth and does nothing to remove water from inside the phone. As long as the battery is connected and water present, damage is ongoing - it must be dismantled and properly cleaned to have any chance of surviving.

  • People that buy iphones don't know anything about technology did you know that? Like my friend just brought iphone and I asked him if it has 4g late he said what's that? Then I asked how fast is the processor like 1.2 dual people buy them because its more mainstream and because their friends have iPhones Samsung is way better based on specs and technology the iPhone 4s and 4 processors are very slow

  • I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
