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.

    I wish that was the case it would have been bad luck but it was just my own stupidity. We keep the dog’s water bowl under the light switch in the kitchen. I had my hands full and tried to press the switch without looking and ended up dropping the phone. For the life of me, I can’t understand what compelled my family and me to keep the dog bowl under the switch.
