Iphone 6 submerged in water

iphone 6 submergerd for seconds in water but seems OK
need to of anything?

Yes, don't use it and put it in a bowl of dry rice for at least a week (some claim you only need to do it for 12-72 hours but I've read other places that you need a week). While it may seem okay, turning it on after submerging it in water may have worked initially but you could have caused some shorts in the components. Corrosion can happen over time and cause problems in the long-run. You may end up needing to pay for an out-of-warranty repair.

  • IPhone 5 submerged in water, but did not turn off/will not turn off. Best course of action?

    My iPhone 5 was just in the sink under running water and mostly submerged for a few seconds. It stayed on with all buttons working, clear screen and clear camera lens. I have tried to turn it off, but every time I try it reboots. I removed the SIM - it was completely dry, but since I can't see the inside I'm assuming there's definitely moisture in there.
    I currently have it in an airtight bag with silica gel, and I'm planning to leave it for a day or two, but it's still on. Should I keep trying to turn it off, or is it better for me to just leave it? I don't have the necessary equipment to remove the battery, unfortunately.

    Last attempt to turn phone off actually did turn the phone off. Not going to touch it for a day or two, and hoping for the best.

  • IPhone 4s submerged in water?? Help!

    I dropped my phone in the toilet but only for about 3 seconds. I immediatley took it out,dried it off, turned it off, and placed it in a bowl of rice for the night. The next morning, I turned it on, and there was water in the lens of my back camera, and no speakers worked. Everything else is fine. I was told by my freind who submerged her 3GS to turn it back off and keep it in the rice for two more days and it would dry out the camera and speakers. Not sure if this will help what damage is already done. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

    had several ipod touch and iphones submerged and lived to tell the tale
    put them in an open bowl of rice on the radiator for 48hours
    in my case they always come back to life even if my current iphone4 still got a sport under the screen from
    the fluid

  • My iPhone got submerged in water and won't start up. What do I do?

    My iPhone went into the pool yesterday and will not start up. What do I do? Will it sync anyway?

    It is probably dead.  The worst thing you can do is try to turn it on or charge it.
    You will probably need a new one.
    You can try letting it dry for a week or two.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in the sink where it was submerged in water for not even 2 seconds I took it out and put it in a warm room by the radiator and most of it works but no sound and battery length is short and runs out quickly. Any ideals on how to help?

    $149
    They do not repair .Apple exchange and all returned units are refurbished at The Apple plants in China
    So you get a device that looks like and functions like new
    Are you familiar with the results of water and electricity mixing

  • HT1766 Is it possible to save an iphone that has been submerged in water?

    Is it possible to get the iphone in working condition again if it has been submerged in water?

    Make sure not to power it on, put it in a bag with rice for a few days; and test it out then, and pray. Really once a device is submerged in water your warrenty is nulled; you can get a replacemen tfor 149$; but this is the only hope you have to see if the device will work afterwards.

  • HT201263 my iphone 4s was partially submerged in water for a period of time is there any way to pull pictures out of it? I have tried to hook up to itunes and an apple appears on the screen but does not respond

    is there any way to retrieve photos off of my phone after it was submerged in water? An apple icon appears on the screen but the phone will not respond

    Probably not.

  • HT1349 My ipod was submerged in water monentarily. I have dried it with a hair dryer and set it in the sun for 1 hour. It now will turn on and only bring up the connect to itunes screen. My keypad is locked and will not unlock by connecting to itunes.

    My ipod was submerged in water momentarily. I have dried it with a hair dryer and have placed it in the sun for 1 hour.  It will now turn on but will only bring up the connect to itunes screen. When I connect to itunes it is not recognized because it is locked with a security code. I have tried to reset the ipod using the instructions in the user manual to no avail. The accessibility screen is functional because I can turn on/off the voice over and the black and white screen. I think I am making progress but cannot unlock it. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks

    Unfortunately, using a hair dryer or placing the iPhone in sunlight, at best, will dry the outside of the device. If water got inside, it may still be possible that this water has not dried and can short out the internal battery or cause other circuit damage ... and what you are seeing may be the results of that. I would recommend that you leave the iPhone turned off and take it to your local Apple Store. They may be able to help, but I wouldn't expect them to offer you a replacement. Sorry!

  • IPhone 6 Submerged in Saltwater

    So I went out in the salt water at my town beach and I had my Silver 64GB iPhone 6 in my shorts pocket and next thing you know I tripped over a rock or something and quite a bit of my iPhone got submerged. When I took it out of my pocket I noticed part of my screen just suddenly went white and the rest was black. Any ideas as to what to do to? Hopefully putting it in rice for 24 hours will resolve the issue.
    I really appreciate the feedback!
    Thanks,
    Sam

    If it was salt water the phone is dead. You should be eligible for an out of warranty replacement for $299, as long as the phone was never jailbroken or opened.

    Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

  • My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

    my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

    If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board.  Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices.  There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
    You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus after Water Damage

    My iPhone 5 fell in water back in October of 2014. I placed the phone in a bag of rice for 3 days
    straight when it happened. It dried out fine and worked like nothing happened. Didn't matter I had
    to upgrade to the iPhone 6 Plus anyways since it was released around that time. I decided to leave
    my last existing backup on my computer (that I did before the phone dropped in water), and not backup
    the phone after the water drop. Because the data could potentially be corrupt due to the oxidization of
    components inside. Long story short I have the iPhone 6 plus now I got yesterday.
    What I need to know:
    My iPhone 5 still works but obviously it now doesn't have a working sim card. There are apps I wanted to
    take snapshots of, or files I wanted to export from various places from after the water drop happened (which
    I never backed up for reasons mentioned above. I already did a backup restore to the new iPhone 6 Plus from
    the backup file made prior to the water drop. The iPhone 6 Plus is working flawlessly.
    Can I use both phones at the same time with the apps going at the same time? Or will their be a weird
    lockout conflict of sorts? Remember one phone has a working sim, but the apps will be the same as the
    old phone and I don't want to use both at the same time if it will cause problems.

    It won't cause problems to use both. Of course without a sim card in the iPhone 5 it will be just a glorified iPod touch now and will have no access to cellular networks, sms, etc. But it will at least work, and any apps that can run over wifi will continue to work as before.
    You might find an app like iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com) useful for getting any remaining info off your iPhone 5 and onto your new iPhone 6 Plus.

  • TS1363 i need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help

    You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
    Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
    The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.
