Accidental drop in water

So I accidentally dropped my iPhone 11 in the toilet for maybe less than a second and it wasn't fully submerged. I immediately turned it off, took off the sim card and looked at my lci and it's still white. It's been 9 hours since I've let it turned off and dried. Should I be worried that my phone will not work even if it's not water damaged??

The by-the-book answer it to take it to Apple and get them to have a look.


That said, we dropped one of our iPhones in water for about a second like you and it continued to work for another 4 years and this was a model dating before all the "water and dust resistance" stuff.

Realize that the link holyschmoe provides will force direct you to what I believe is the genius bars in Singapore. Instead:


Genius Bar appointment - Unfortunately Apple has made this tricky to get to directly. Go to https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ > Get hardware help. Select your hardware and continue selecting options requiring replacing parts until you see "Bring in for Repair" --> Sign in with Apple ID
