"Water droplets in front camera.: I have a iPhone 14 and while I was washing my face, it dropped in the sink, i took it out of the sink and dryed it. It seemed fine and good, so I went to sleep and when I woke up, it’s front camera was covered in water droplets, and you can’t get to it because it is in the inside. The back camera also had condensation but that went away with rice, now I am stuck with the front camera with water droplets. The phone is fully functional, and the silent switch most of the time doesn’t work , and in lucky times it does. So is there a way to get it out??"
