I’ve heard people say that if you have a wet phone (for whatever really stupid reason), putting it in rice will dry it out and make it perfect once again. These same people also say you’re supposed to either pull the battery immediately, or power your phone down the second the accident occurs. I did neither of those things.
When my phone got wet, I wiped it off and thought nothing of it. There wasn’t any sign whatsoever of a problem — it looked just fine and I received a couple text messages and replied to them without issue. It wasn’t until about 30 minutes later when it rang and I could BARELY hear the caller that I figured out I was in trouble. I simply turned it off and put it in a bowl of rice for 3 days.
Keep the faith, you guys. My iPhone LIVES!
