iphone 5 in water & turned off immediately, when is it safe to try to turn on again?

I dropped my iPhone 5 in water for maybe a minute and immediately turned off. When is it safe to turn back on to try it or is there something I can do to ensure it has dried?

Hi

Contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to have your iPhone checked and to establish your available service options, timescales and cost.


Do not try to turn on, use or charge your iPhone whilst moisture may be present.
