My iPhone that’s meant to be waterproof

I have the IPhone XR, I was pushed into a pool with it in my pocket and got out and dried my phone immediately. Water has gotten into my front camera, what do I do ? The phone is meant to be able to handle it.

i have left it in rice the whole day and nothing happened.

No iPhone is waterproof.

Nowhere does Apple ever claim any iPhone is waterproof.

Apple specifically states do not submerge your phone in water.

To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:

  • Swimming or bathing with your iPhone
  • Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on
  • Using your iPhone in a sauna or steam room
  • Intentionally submerging your iPhone in water
  • Operating your iPhone outside the suggested temperature ranges or in extremely humid conditions
  • Dropping your iPhone or subjecting it to other impacts
  • Disassembling your iPhone, including removing screws
