My iPhone fell in the water, what do I do next?
So, I went into the swimming pool with my iPhone 4S in my pocket. It soaked for a good 10 minutes. I dried it immediately, used a fan then placed it in a bag of rice for 3~4 hours. The next day I tried switching it on, nothing happened. Then plugged it into the charger and it lit up! (It showed the connect to iTunes preview so I'm assuming the memory's been wiped clean.)
The question is, when I connected the charger, I could still see some water in the screen which then made me turn it off immediately. Is it safe to use it? Or will this water still in the screen damage the phone even further? It's back with the rice at the moment.
This always cracks me up. How about a week or more in rice for a full immersion in water. THEN you can think about turning the thing on. Anything less: you are doing damage to the unit. Liquid and electronics = shorting.
- What to do if your iPhone fell in water? I tried the blow dryer approach and now I submerged my phone in a container filled with rice. Is there anything else I can try at this point?
- What do i do, my iphone fell in water I was brushing my teeth while listening to music from my iphone and it fell in the sink and was completely submerged in water for about a few seconds but i got it out quickly. I turned it off right away and put it in a bowl of wild rice (obvously not cooked) because thats what it said online. Did i do the right thing? Does anyone have any better methods? If the rice is the right idea, how long do i leave my phone in it?
- Should i buy the iphone 8 plus/X next month or wait for the next release which is in September 2018? I'm thinking of getting a new iphone next month but my dad suggested i wait for the new ones in September, what do you guys think and if you think i should get one of the current iphones which should i get the 8 plus or the X?
- My iPhone fell into water I took a blow dryer to it, then I soaked it in a bag of rice.It'll turn on when it's plugged into a wall charger, but it says it needs to be connected to iTunes and be restored, so I plugged it into my laptop and it won't turn on.iTunes won't even pick up my phone to sync or ANYTHING. I need help! I left it in the bag of rice OVER 24 hours.
