My 12 fell into the ocean. It was submerged about 2 seconds. It work for an hour after that, but now is stuck in a reboot loop. I have tried turning off, and resetting via volume up, volume down, side button. It does not respond to either. I have it in rice now. What's next?
iPhone 12
Rice is a myth; it just makes the problem worse. But salt water will almost certainly kill any electronic device. You can let it dry in a warm place for several days. If it doesn’t work after that contact Apple support using the Support link at the bottom left on this page to discuss replacement options.
