Oops… Dropped my iPhone in the water, now what?
by Justin Horn on Aug 6th, 2010 @ 5:32 pmLuckily that is just a post title, I have yet to do this to my iPhone. If you aren’t so lucky then here are some steps to save your iPhone.
iFixYouri has posted a YouTube clip showing the correct procedure after dropping your phone in the water. I’ve been giving similar advice on this issue, on a person by person basis, but thought it might be a good idea to post it up for all to see. iFixYoui gives the same advice I’ve been giving for the last couple years and just recently in this tweet:
@skeetobite Ouch! Leave it off for 24 hours. Throw it in a ziplock back with some dry white rice and stick it in the fridge.
One thing they don’t mention is sticking it in the fridge. I know someone that did rice + fridge trick with the iPhone 3G and it solved the issue, although the camera was a bit flaky after that. The fridge makes sense as it acts as a dehumidifier, although a dehumidifier in a small area with the phone would be even better I assume.
