My iPhone SE went for a swim with me - Any hope?

So right now I'm in Outer Banks (beautiful area, my family rented a house with a pool and a short walk to the beach) and I went for a 5ish minute swim in the pool. Then my mom called me in to have lunch, and that s when I realized I f ed up. My family is big, so I had a bunch of suggestions being thrown at me at once, a bunch of them being the bag or rice. We don't have rice at the house, and nobody s gone food shopping yet. Is my phone a lost cause? Any advice would be a great help.

If your phone is still covered under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and you'll be able to get it fixed, or more likely replaced. It might be able to dry out given time, especially with rice, but it might also be damaged beyond reasonable repair.

Yes your phone has passed away. No amount of tricks will restore it. When you buy another phone insure it against theft and accidental damage. A lesson learned in life.

Immerse in fresh water until you can dry it out.

SOME PHONES ARE WATER PROOF.

Not, if you didn't dry it immediately.

  • Water damaged IPhone 4s. Is there hope? Today I idiotically fell into a pool with my iPhone in my pocket. It was submerged for about three seconds and afterward there was no display but it would still vibrate at messages and calls. I shook the water out of it immediately but I couldn't get it in rice for about 20 mins. I took out thr sim card and managed to turn off my phone and I'll let it sit in the rice for 24-48 hours. Is this just a lost cause or is there actually hope in me reviving my "child"
  • Is there any hope for my iPhone data? So last night I got a iPhone 5s and I switch from an iPhone 4 I plug my iPhone for into iTunes said I had to restore it factory settings I did it thinking my data was going to be backed up when I restored my iPhone 4 had lost all it's data including pictures, text and apps and I was wondering id there anyway I could get that back on my iPhone 5s? BTW I'm with Verizon
  • I went for a swim but forgot to take my iPhone 4S out of my pocket? It was only in the water for two minutes. But it took me 15 to run the the grocery store and get rice. I then took the SIM card out and then the screen turned blue I thought it was off but it was probably it was on. Do you think my phone is fried I have left it in rice fore like 15 hour and there's still water vapor in the camera glass. An answer would be greatly appreciated. Please help But do you think it's done
