I'd also wrap the iPhone in cheese cloth first. You don't want to get any rice kernels or dust into any of the ports, jacks or gaps.

Fill a bowl with rice and bury the phone in the rice for up to 24

likely be fine.

Hi Ariana,

The recommended thing to do here is to turn the phone off completely as
Lauren already advised and then to stick it in a bowl filled with rice. You
want to completely cover it with rice and this will draw out any moisture.
Leave it there for 2 to 3 days. If your iPhone is your primary phone this
of
course might be hard to do, but it beats having to replace it. Give us an
update as to how it works out.


Good luck,
Sieghard

Subject: Muffled speaker from suspected water damage.

How can I fix this? I had my phone on the edge of the sink, and it fell
inside while I was washing my hands. I didn't know about it until later,
when I couldn't find my bone and went into the bathroom to check the sink.
Anyhow, the speaker has been muffled, although the sound coming through
headphones is fine. There wasn't too much water on the phone or in it's
case, but a little goes a very long way.


Thanks,
Ari
