I jut put my iPhone through the laundry. What do I do now?

HAven't tried to turn it back on yet. Should I use rice (does that even work?) or just wait 24 hours and try, or maybe oven on low heat?

Or maybe I just have to buy a new one...

Which model? The 7, 8 and X are all waterproof.

Sorry to hear that. But you know there is an other way if you want to clean your data.:)

Apparently that works. Yes, I’ve seen that work.
I left my i7 out in the rain one night, (late night on the back patio) and it didn’t hurt it a bit.
Older iPhones, i4 &i6, I’ve always had cases, I don’t understand why someone would not use a case, but it’s a show off thing I guess.
Way way back in flip-phone days I dropped my phone in a cup of coffee. Dead. I had to go back to my older phone for 2 years as it was under contract.
Sometimes we learn lessons the hard way.

I lost my Motorola flip phone years ago. It was found submerged in a salty water filled pot hole a couple days later. It even had tread marks on the back of it. I had put a label with my name and number on the back of the removable battery. The guy who found it left me a message. I picked it up, took it home and placed it on my radiator for a couple days to dry out. To my surprise, it still worked. The display was a little messed up but that's about it.

It's a 6SE. It's now 24 hours later and it's dead as a doornail. Won't even pretend to turn on or recognize the charger. Time to buy a new one...luckily it was just over the 2-year term so I can start fresh - thinking of going with a 7.

Sorry to hear it’s dead. My i7 is about a year and a half old, still pristine condition as it’s been in a life proof case.

Let it dry out - in rice or otherwise - and there's a decent chance it will work again. Happened to both me and a friend. She dropped hers in the bath. I just got caught in a thunderstorm. (Mine died and then came back to life a week later when it had dried out. Hers got dried out in rice and came back to life, again about a week later).

Same friend dropped the phone in the bath AGAIN!!!!....... This time, it had to be taken to the cell phone repair place and a couple of parts replaced. Cost $120.00.
