I dropped my iphone in ocean water. Will it be ok?
I dropped my iphone in ocean water two days ago and I'm scared it will stop working soon. I don't know how to prevent it. I never turned it off because it was working fine (except for that first day the speakers werent working). I was able to charge it fine and the next day it was ok except that it would randomly turn off and then turn back on. I'm scared to open it but I feel like I should just to dry it out if there's still water inside. Any tips? Suggestions? I was told its strange it is still working.
Added (1). The speakers work now by the way
Of course not… Its water. What do you think? Its common sense!
Only option there's, put the phone in a bag of uncooked rice for 24 hours. It's supposed to absorb the water out of the phone.
Open your cell whatever you can means battery, panel etc. And then try to dry it with the help of hair dryer. Continuously using phone may damage your phone.
Who knows, the uncooked rice thing won't help any more since you should have turned the phone off immediately and put it in rice… But since you have been usign it, and charging it, there really isn't anything you can do now other than wait. I would assume the salt water will corrode the internals of the device after a while leading to failure eventually. But the iphone is a sealed device, so it might not have gotten inside the phone at all… In which case, consider yourself lucky.
- What should I do with this iPhone 5 I found at the beach floating in the ocean? I found an iPhone 5 at the beach, floating in the ankle-deep water. It was completely water-logged and looks like it may have been in the ocean for days or weeks. Of course doesn't power on, has corrosion on the external ports. What should I do with it? Can it be used as a trade-in on a new iPhone 6? Don't know carrier either.

- My iPhone 6 was dropped in the ocean and it won't turn on? Is there anyway I can extract the data from my phone? For instance, taking out a piece of hardware from it that could be put into another phone that will allow it to power up with all the same data, exactly the same as it would on my original phone?
- If I drop my iPhone in the ocean will it harm the environment? I want to give my iPhone to Poseidon but I'm afraid that dropping an iPhone in the ocean will be bad for the environment. What harm would an iPhone do if any, besides just littering in the ocean?
