Dropped my phone in the water (again)

The good news is we were tied up at the dock and I was able to dive for it, and it still works! 2024 iPhone spent about 30 minutes at 13 feet deep. Way more waterproof than is advertised!! So don’t give up if you drop your phone, go get it and you might even find a winch handle too

Rinse it off with fresh water if it was the ocean it fell in. The speaker/port/mic will corrode badly.

Yes, and stop working 2-3 weeks later.

I always use a phone dry bag:

Had same problem with a Samsung. New phone fall into the water at dock. About 4/5m depth but continues to work.

Mine is 60 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan, and there it will stay.

I always have my phone tethered when I'm on the water.
