3 My iPhone fell inside water
Here comes the popular question on the Internet. What will i do if my iPhone fall into water? The answer is simple, pick it up as fast as you can, switch it off 📴 and remove the back case if yours is removable. Wait for the water to dry. You can bring it out for sunshine to dry it up but don't force it to get dried by using something like hairdryer because it could cause more damage to your lovely iOS device. You are advised to wait for about 2 days before attempting to switch it ON again.
