Good tips for handling a phone stuck in water

Dry your bare iPhone by wiping it with a lint-free cloth. You want to absorb the liquid on the outside of your device without leaving it covered in fibers. If you don't have a lint-free cloth, a T-shirt will usually do.

3. Drain the Liquid from Your iPhone

One of the trickiest things about dropping your iPhone in water is that it can cause liquid to get into your device. This often happens through charging ports and similar entry points. Tilt your iPhone so the port is facing down and tap it gently to drain the liquid. Do the same for the speaker, and if you have a headphone jack, you should follow the same steps. Once you've finished draining the liquid from your iPhone port, your device should feel drier.

4. Remove Your SIM Card

Your iPhone may look dry, but there may still be liquid inside. Use a SIM tool, straight paperclip, or pin to push the SIM tray out of the side of your device.
