Dropped my iphone in water need

So I recently went to the beach long story short my iPhone was swing for about 30-40 seconds and I quickly dried it off and stuck it in a bag with my clothes. Then on the way home I tried plugging it in but got no response but there was water on the charger after taking it out so I didn't try charging it again. After getting home I put it in rice. Few hours later I took it out and opened the phone and dried some of the water inside. I then took out the battery and other components then reassembled because I didn't feel comfortable dunking it in alcohol and I didn't have and other tool like the ultra thingy. Then I had it in rice for a about 2 days now and take it out to plug it back in. At first there was nothing until the red battery showed up then went away a couple of times then the apple logo started to show up for about 3-8 seconds and disappeared. I don't know if its the battery after taking it out that s not turning on the phone and now I just need a new battery or is it something else(ps. This is all happening rn)

Buy a new phone and look after this one.

Was this salt water or fresh water? If salt water, time to buy a new phone due to corrosion of the metal wire, contacts and power connections, even after it dries 72 hours later. Both with salt/fresh water, continued powering and checking the phone may have shorted it to the point of never powering up again.

  • 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?
  • I dropped my iphone in water. I need my texts. What do I do? I dropped my iphon4 in water and put it in rice but nothing has happened. My best friend past away a month ago and I had so many text messages from her I was going to go through one day when I was ready. I'm so upset this happened and I'm freaking out. Is there anything I can do? I have no idea how iphones from Verizon work since there's no way to open them and they have no memory card slot?
  • I dropped my iPhone in water - 3 I just dropped my phone in water about a minute ago(it's 9:25 PST). I hurried up and got it out dried it off as fast as I could. It was working fine until now. It keeps popping up "charging not supported on this device" and also I just found out the sound isn't working! Now I can't even listen to all the money I spent on my songs. Is there anything to help this? I was thinking I can back it up on iTunes? Would that help? I don't know I just need major help please.
