My iPhone fell in toilet… Do I have to go to an apple store to replace?

If you bought warrenty for physical damage then yes

Can you give more details about it? Does it still functions?
You can go to the store and check but you'll use money.
Or you could get a bag of rice, place your phone in the middle and cover it up with more rice, wait for 3 days and see if it still works.

Try the old trick. Put it in a bowl of dry rice for about 3-4 hours the rice will absorb the water in your phone.DO. NOT try to turn it back on while the components of your phone are still wet turning it back on could cause a shortage in your device destroying your precious iPhone forever. After letting your phone dry for about 4 hours turn it back on and it should function properly. If not then I hope you have insurance and that your company will replace it. Fyi if you have insurance and there's water damage to your phone most companies will charge a 50 dollar fee for a replacement. And if you decide to keep your phone know that the value will drop dramatically due to the fact that your water teat strip is probably pink or blue. Hope this helps…

  • What should I do to make sure my iPhone 4s still works after it fell in the toilet? My iPhone fell in the toilet yesterday and I put it in a bowl of rice for 24 hours. I took it out and charged it and it worked. I want to make sure that it won't glitch and die, so should I keep it in a bowl of rice while charging it for a day? I also noticed that when I was charging it at first, it started heating up… Should I be concerned?
  • My iphone fell into the toilet? I took it out right away and put it in rice, overnight, at first it said "overheated" now it works perfectly except that the home button is broken and the screen has dark spots on it, should i leave it in rice a little longer?
  • My iPhone fell into the toileT After this, my mother put it onto a radiator and it went really hot. I then put it into some uncooked rice. I'm afraid that the heat may have damaged it as it was working after it had been in the water but it won't now. It just won't turn on. It is now in the rice, will it ever work again?
  • My iphone fell into a toilet? Okay so i probably sound dumb af right now but yeah. And so i put it in rice but its weird because i'm still getting all my calls & notifications so its like on but not? Do you think this is a bad sign? I just put it in about an hour ago. Oh & it was only in the water for around 5-10 seconds.
