Iphone being dropped in water what to do?

Ok So i dropped my iphone in the toilet the other day, blow dried it, tried to turn it on and left it in rice for about 2 days, still hasn't turned on. What should i do?

Do you have insurance on the iPhone (A.K.A, AppleCare?) If it hasn't expired yet, Take it to Apple. They'll replace it but there will be a flat fee of maybe $50-$75. After it gets dunked in water, it'll act funky (be that after a few minutes to a few days if you are lucky). That is due to the process of corrosion (like your car, metal rusts after exposure to water). This might not be the best explanation, but I tried my best.

When phones get soaked, it's the combination of water (which is conductive unless it is absolutely pure), and electricity from the battery that causes any wet internal circuitry to self destruct by electrochemical reaction. The first thing to do when a device gets dunked is to remove the battery if at all possible. Don't attempt to turn it on until everything inside has had plenty of time to completely dry out. You don't want to cause permanent damage to parts of the circuit that may still be wet by sending power to them.

It can often take a week or more if water is trapped under surface mounted circuit board parts unless you take things completely apart.

Forget the "rice advice" you may have heard. That dangerous myth was probably started by someone in the business of selling replacement phones. It is often repeated by those who don't know why it's a really dumb idea, especially if the battery isn't designed to be easily removed. While rice is a mild desiccant and will absorb small amounts of moisture from the air when transferred from a dry to a more humid location, it has absolutely no magical qualities that will quickly suck water out of a phone. A warm location - not the microwave - and a little air flow will be many times more effective. Since your goal is to get everything dry in a reasonable amount of time, it's counterproductive to reduce the air flow to nearly zero and artificially create a humid location by placing everything in a bowl or plastic bag. Besides, you don't really care where the moisture goes once it has evaporated from your phone.

Try burying it in one meter of sand and putting 13 Newtons of force on top of it, and leave it there for 4 days. That will put exactly the right amount of pressure on it to force the water out into the sand, while still leaving your phone intact. After you dig it up, it will still not work. This is because the aforementioned process activates the reset mechanism on the iphone. To reverse this, you must take apart your iphone and turn the core processors upside down. This seems like it would just break it, but trust me, it doesn't. After you put your phone back together, the image on the iphone screen will appear upside down. But to fix this, you simply need to remove the screen and put it back on upside down. Now it will look okay, but the touch screen will react in the reverse direction of you movements. To fix this, simply turn your phone case inside out and put it back on. This seems pointless, but it actually activates a switching mechanism via magnetic field changes. After this, it should be good as new.

Alternatively, this entire situation is avoidable if you just don't drop your phone in the toilet.

Welp… It's probably broken. Looks like its time for a trip to the Apple store.
