What have you pay attention, when your iPhone has liquid
When our iPhone had water damaged, there are lots of common beliefs out there that we've found to be wrong over the years. I will tell you what you shouldn't do in order to remedy water damage. Some of them can actually damage your device further.
Don' t put your iPhone, iPad, or iPod in rice
This is actually one of the worse things that most people immediately think to put their phone in rice immediately following contact with water. While the logic of pulling water or liquid out of the device sounds like a good plan, it actually isn't.
Once the device completely dries out, corrosion sets in. You want to avoid this at all costs. In our experience, rice actually causes corrosion to set in faster. Not to mention, rice gets caught in headphone jacks, dock connectors, and other small places.
Back away from the hair dryer!
Never, ever, under any circumstance take a hair dryer or a heat gun to a water damaged iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Much like rice, you're going to cause corrosion to set in faster and could potentially damage your device further.
Don't use a charger
Most people have an inclination to throw it on a charger immediately after water damage occurs. This typically happens if the screen blacks out or the device dies. Lithium ion batteries and liquid don't play nice together. Most places that fix water damage will replace the battery just as a precaution on all water damaged device. It's a good practice and something that should almost always be done.
Quickly remove the phone from the water
Once you notice your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has come in contact with liquid, the most obvious thing to do is to remove it from the liquid. Sometimes if you catch it fast enough or it does not become completely submerged, the damage can be minimal.
Turn the device off
Immediately following any contact with liquid, always turn any electronics device off immediately. It is very possible that liquid can short it out. The safest bet is to completely turn it off.
Here is where I'd normally tell you to take out the battery but considering Apple products don't have removable batteries, which creates an issue.
On top of causing issues with the battery, you can also short circuit the logic board. Leaving the device completely turned off for a period of time is best practice. I would recommend staying away from chargers until you can get help fixing the issue from a professional. If you don't think the damage was bad enough to warrant taking it in for repair, I'd still avoid chargers for at least 72 hours before attempting to plug it in and turn it on.
Check water sensors
All iPhones, iPads, and iPods have water sensors. Check the dock connector and headphone jack with a flashlight to see if the sensors are triggered. By default, the sensors should be white. If they have turned red, you know liquid has gotten into one of the ports.
