What should I do with a water damaged iPhone 5s?

I have the iPhone 5s and today I went swimming with it in my pocket. It was in water for about 10 minutes. What should I do? I love my iPhone so much. I do not want to get a new.

I suggest you to try blow drying, to completly dry it, or just brush the watter off with a towel, and then put it in a zip plug bag filled with rice, since rice collects water. Leave your iPhone turned off in the bag with rice for a few days, it should be fine.

You can try removing the battery (hopefully that was the first thing you did) and putting it in rice for a week but I wouldn't be surprised if the phone is toast.

Thank you guys. I'm going to try to use the rice.

  • Water damaged iphone 5, what should I do? Ok so I was on holiday and my phone went into the sea and was submerged for a good few minutes. It won't turn on, I'm pretty sure it's completely wrecked and I just wanted to know what I do now? Like if I take it to a phone/ apple store can they recover data or do I literally have to buy a whole new phone
  • 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"

  • My iphone is water damaged, and the incident happened about a month or two ago? So if i were to try to fix it right now by blow drying it and by putting it in rice for a few hours, would there be a chance that it would work?
