Iphone 6 dropped in water

I tend to agree with you. Put it in Rice for a few days, good luck.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do this ASAP. The longer you wait the more damage will occur. The device's warranty is now void, so your girlfriend should be prepared for a big bill unless she happened to have purchased the extended warranty with the phone.

In this case do what Csound suggested. Put it in a bowl of raw rice to suck out the moisture. This could take a few days so she will need to be patient. Then you can see if it will turn on and work.

As for your other remarks I'm with you 100%. 😀

Let's be realistic, it has (at least for some time) been powered on while under water, or draining out. The heat is a sign of a circuit that is short, and that means damage has already occurred. Rice, while worthwhile is a long shot.

Probably a good idea to make toilet visits a good time to ignore the phone 🙂

Indeed it is 😟

I keep reading this thread and nobody is answering your question about a "...Reset". No you should not do a Reset as that would result in the iPhone turning on if it isn't already. You keep mentioning a "light" being on, so that can't be good. The very most you should do if you think the iPhone is "on" is hope it is actually "off". The Rice Bag is your only hope, and that is very unlikely to work. In any event you do not want to check the phone each day to see if it works. The idea is to give the rice enough time to absorb all moisture before you would ever try powering up the iPhone. I would say you want to do this for at least three or four days minimum. The idea of taking it to an Apple Store right away is a mute point if you don't believe you would want to pay for any repairs.

I just dropped my 6 in the toilet!!! Your thread comes up first when googling. I snatched it out immediately, turned it off (it lit right normally when I clicked and held down the power button), dried it off a bit and put it in a ziploc bag with rice.

Just hoping for the best. I've had it for 3 days :-\ Nothing but a screen protector on it.

Last bit of info...how did I do this? I was helping my young daughter onto the toilet (yay for potty training) when it slid out of my shirt pocket!

Hope you used raw rice. Leave it in the bag for 4 to 5 days and be sure to clean off any rice dust from the phone and the headphone jack before working with it. After this connect your iPhone to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. While it is still connected to power, and after this period, reset it by holding down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

is it works by putting the iphone in the rice?

Hi all...

I also dropped my i phone into water..then the screen turn red..after that the iphone cannot turn on..so i read some people told me to put into rice..i did it..so after 1 week..i charged and turn on..only apple logo flash..i asked my friend that working in apple store..he honestly said that apple would never repair..the just recycle the iphone and i have to pay for new one..

I went to one repair store asked him if that any chance that i can repair my iphone..he said to me it easy..he just clean with solvent then replace battery..he told me that refurbished iphone came from recycle iphone..everything made in china can be fix..and it came with imitation part (made in china) than original part (made in china), the only different is price..come on..even face can be fix!

so good luck..hope this can help..

Ok - I did this and it worked - I dropped in pool for a few seconds. DO NOT PUT in rice, it will hurt the foam integrity in phone. I put in front on fan on low(low to keep from too much lint or debris from getting in phone), put Iphone in front of fan, face the bottom of phone where jack and speakers are towards the fan. I kept it there overnight, charged it, and it worked!!! I hope it works for everyone else.
