How does water affect your iPhone?

I dropped my iPhone in water today, but it had a lifeproof case on it. I did not have the headphone plug in and some water got into it. I dried it off and my music still plays fine from my headphones. Will this affect the rest of my phone at all? Nothing appears to be wrong or malfunctioning It's an iPhone 4S.

Water can potentially cause a short circuit, which can be damaging to the internal electronics if they receive too high of a current or voltage. That won't always happen, so taking the battery out (removing the power source) and drying it out (removing the water) will sometimes recover the phone.

If you don't have any problems then it is probably fine, but you should be sure that it has completely dried, since the water and move if there's any left inside.

Don't worry

If nothing wrong then don't worry

Life proof = pretty good.

Just be very sure you leave it off for a while and dry it, the sound jack is a pretty small, isolated component, leave it be and dry it with hot air or a fan, and once it dries it will be as if it never happened

- as long as you don't short out your phone before then.

I would really like to know this and i'm sorry if my question was not clear enough, i'm just really curios and kinda new to this.
  • If connected to Wi-Fi, does the iphone 4s affect your data bill? I just recently gotten my iphone 4s, (yay! And i know it has a monthly data plan that i'm going to pay for. I was just wondering, if i'm at home and connect to my Wi-Fi network that i use for everything in my house (computers, e.c.t) using my phone, will it charge my data plan for over use? Or does being connected to your own network not take away data time/ charge you on your plan.
