I dropped my iPhone se 2020 (supposed to be waterproof) in a shallow river for a few seconds. It went black, I have left it since yesterday and tried this morning to turn it on but it won’t work. What should I do?
iPhone SE, iOS 15
Yes, let it dry out (and cross your fingers).
As far as "water resistant" devices, see this support article:--> About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support

Your iPhone is water resistant, not waterproof, sorry.
If it doesn't turn on, liquid damage might have reached internal components and, should be this case, unfortunately there's nothing you can do, except waiting for it to dry completely (put it in a jar with many silica gel sachets and do not try to turn it on or charge for 48 hours).

In the apple website it says it should withstand 1m deep of water for 30mins. Mine went in about 30cm of water for about 5seconds. I have tried to turn it on this morning, so should I just leave it longer to see if it dries out?
