I dropped my iPhone 5s in water

I dropped my iPhone 5s in water, but quickly removed it from the water, dried it off, and submerged the phone in rice, however I did not turn the phone off automatically but later did when it started flashing and saying "no SIM card." Does it still have a chance of surviving or is it too late since I did not turn it off automatically?

Take it to a cellphone repair shop that specifically does water damage cleanup. It is a good sign that it turns on, however no sim card is extremely bad news for water damage as Apple does not make their sim tray modular, it will probably never make calls again

Replace the sim

  • 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 - 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.
  • I dropped my iphone in water and it won't turn on? I dropped my iphone in the toilet about 3 hours ago and right after i picked it up from the water, i put it in rice. The phone turned off by itself and about a few minutes ago i went to check and my phone was hot. So i'm wondering if i should keep it in the rice or do something else?
