Iphone 13 with cracked back glass and dropped in water

A few months back I cracked the glass back on my phone, but you don't know that the cracks are there until you take the phone case off. Today I dropped my phone in bath water with the phone case on. I dried it off to the best of my ability, and have it sitting in a bowl baking soda. What should I do?

I used to manufacture Lithium Ion batteries (last year) and will advise the following:

  1. Power it off and never use it again.
  2. If the internal cells are exposed to water, there will be an explosion. 💥
  3. Take it to a nearby local Apple Retail Store and explain the situation and allow them the opportunity to offer a reasonable outcome for you.


That’s my advice.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
