I dropped my iPhone in water, can I fix it?

I dropped my phone in the bathtub, it was only in there for a few second before I grabbed it out and dried it off, but the speaker doesn't work now. This happened about five minutes ago. How do I dry it off and get the speaker to work without damaging the phone?

Put it in a bag of rice or desiccant (that stuff they put in clothes to keep them dry, they say "DO NOT EAT") and leave it there overnight.
The rice helps absorb water.

If damage was done you will need to take it to an apple store.

  • IPHONE DROPPED IN WATER. Red dot, i've already done rice treatment CAN I FIX ON MY OWN? I accidentally dropped my iPhone in water. i placed it in rice for 3 days and its working EXCEPT FOR ONE PROBLEM. The phone won't charge. There's a small, faint red dot in the charging port on my iPhone. Ti read on the apple website to go to the store, and That the warranty doesn't cover if the red dot appears. so can i fix this on my own? Please Help! I need the phone to do my job. And i don't have the time or the money to get it to the store and pay for this.
  • 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 4s in water, what can I do? When I dropped it, I took it out immediately and dried it before putting it in rice but I didn't learn that I needed to turn it off until I got home about 2 hours later, so it's off now. Before I turned it off though, the sound was working perfectly fine and the screen could still be seen but very very faintly. Does anyone know what has happened or anything I can do to fix it because I believe apple doesn't cover water damage?
  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water, how to fix it? Today during school my iphone 4s fell out of my pocket and into the toilet. I took it out immediately and dried it off, and i took off the screen protector to air it out a bit. It worked fine at first but now the home button won't work. I'm in my messages and i can't leave my messages because the home button won't work. As soon as i got home i put it in a bowl of uncooked rice. Will this help? Will the home button work again?
