Dropped my iPhone 13 in 3m deep water yesterday. Decided to go after it today, and it turned on underwater. Rinsed it in the sink, and dried it with a hairdryer and it works just fine! The speakers are a little f’d but we’re good. Hoping it doesn’t have any damage

So you went the next day? In the ocean? And found your phone?

Yeah i got help from someone with actual diving gear tho. It’s currently -10*C and gets pitch black at 3pm where I live. It’s also a two hour boat ride to the place I lost it, so I probably would’ve frozen to death trying to dive after and locate it without at least a wetsuit. “Luckily” I dropped it from a dock so we found it straight away with an underwater flashlight.
