I dropped my iPhone 12 in my dog’s water bowl for about 4 seconds. I immediately took it out, powered it off patted it dry with a towel, and stuck it in a box of rice.
Everywhere I’ve looked had different answers do what I did, plop it in front of a fan, let it just air dry and one even said remove the battwry.
Will what I’ve done work or am I just fucked?
EDIT: took it out of rice and popped a packet of silica gel under the charging port. Thanks everyone for the advice.
The iPhone 12 is originally rated for a maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes. Even if the seals/gaskets of ports and switches deteriorate over time, a few seconds in a dog bowl should not be an issue. Just dry it off and shake the water out of the lightning port before recharging.
