Dropped my iphone in bleach water
Hi guys, few days ago i accidentally dropped my iphone into a pail of bleach water and i pick it up within a sec, I left it to dry for 2 days, after that i went to a iphone repair shop to take look at it, only 2 of the water damage sensors turns pink, the other 4 sensors inside the phone were still white then he said it will be fine because the damage is not bad and the water did not reach the "motherboard". Apparently Its working perfectly fine now but I'm not sure if bleach water might cause corrosion/rust in the future. Please advice
Hi Timothy Ng,
In my case it was not an iPhone with water, but my Apple Keyboard with some coffee
No one can judge from the outside whether a unit belongs in the trash or not, if it came in contact with water.
If the iPhone works, I would keep it. Water will dry over time and I've big doubts that this little bit of water causes considerable damage.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?
If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and cannot get it to dry out enough to turn back on. I may have fried the battery. I am using an old iPhone 3 temporarily but cannot get all of my current info to sync. My calendar is up to date but none of my notes have transferred over and the contact list is from when I originally used the iPhone 3 last year. How do I get my iPhone 4 info synced onto the iPhone 3?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't restore an iPhone 3G from an iPhone 4 backup. Until you get a replacement you can access your iCloud data at iCloud.com on a computer. -
I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?
Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out. Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board. Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
Consider yourself lucky. I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered. -

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

Hi I dropped my iphone 5 in water last night, it is working but has shadow over the screen how can I get this fixed?
Probably too late to do anything but replace the device at this point.
Once electronics get wet, the best thing to do is turn it off and put it in silica gels packs or uncooked rice for a minimum of 72hrs. Only then should the user attempt to power the device on. -

I dropped my iphone 4s in water yesterday. Got out my old 3g to use temporarily. I synced it to itunes and restored from backup. However, none of my pictures or text messages transferred to the 3g. Did I do something wrong? Why won't those transfer? I had just synced my 4s over the weekend. Everything I have read says to just hit restore and it should have restored to what was on my 4s. Can someone please tell me if I've lost those things forever?
Thank you.I'd review these articles

If you drop your iphone 4s in water, is it worth trying to get it repaired
if you drop your iphone 4s in water, is it worth trying to get it repaired. it is a year and a half old full gsm with 32 gig.
Apple will not repair any iOS devices in the US. If you take it to an Apple store genius bar you can get an out-of-warranty replacement of the iPhone 4s for $199 in the US.

I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

I dropped my iPhone in the water and the touchscreen stopped working. After drying it out for a few days I had the LCD replaced, but the touchscreen is still not working. What do I do?
Why don't you ask that question of the person who performed the uncertified service?

Dropped my iPhone in the water.
I dropped my iPhone in the water a few days ago with a case on,however, the case was not waterproof certified. Although my phone still works, ive been having some problems with it. Like it not wanting to charge random times and getting stuck on dock connector mode. The LCI indicator is red aswell.I have Apple Care though. I was wondering if I took it to an apple store if they would give me a new one or not.
Using the hair drier, even on cold, was a big mistake it just forces the moisture farther into the iPhone.
In your original post you said it happened a few days ago, now you say 3 months ago? That is more that a few days. Regardless the moisure sensor has probably been triggered and my answer remains the same. -

Unfortunately, you permanently forfeited any chance of getting it serviced or replaced by apple when you opened it.
Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone.
