Q: Iphone 6 in toilet...

I dropped it in for literally 2 seconds, immediately turned it off (even though it was still working perfectly fine minus saying i had headphones in) and placed it in rice.

 

LCI is still white so not indication damage as of yet,  if I leave it in the rice for a couple of days how likely is it to work again?

 

Also if the headphone thing is still an issue how do i fix that

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

    Unfortunately iPhone is not waterproof. You are lucky one if it works after contact with water. Usually phones and water do not mix and water damage is not covered by warranty. Corrosion has already started.  You should schedule a genius appointment at the Apple Store

    as soon as possible to appraise the level of damages. They will offer you the best solution.

    Laura, place the phone immediately into a very large bag of rice and leave it in there for 2 days turned off. There have been many reports of this being successful. HOWEVER, (an excuse me for the caps but I want to emphasize this), as thurderzzz mentioned above, it is likely that some damage has occurred. Your phone may work very well indeed (or maybe not) but its life is likely to be shortened by potential corrosion. You have nothing to lose by the rice method so I would try that first. I also suggest a visit to the Apple Store for assessment. Since it is rather new, if it had to be replaced Apple will do it for $299. You may want to invest the $299 on a new one for so called "insurance" or take a risk however small that it will last, hard to tell. See this and look at the water damage indicator:  Liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn't covered by warranty - Apple Support

     

    I hope this is the information you wanted.....  Good luck,
