Q: what is the best thing to do if my phone gets dropped in water

Hey dolreen,

The best bet is to take your iPhone in for service because your iPhone will not run properly after that. Take a look at the articles below for more information about setting your iPhone up for service as well as information about your iPhone coming into contact with liquid.
