Is there hope for my front camera? What’s happening? Dropped the 12 in the pool the other day and looks like there’s some condensation on the insideyiannisred t1_j6jlh6y wrote
Take it to a repair shop asap so that they can open it up and see how much water got in and subsequently how much damage was caused. Don’t sit on it, pun intended.

Rice doesn't absorb moisture unless the grains are actually touching it.
Better to put it on a towel and leave it in a warm room

Next time, as soon as it happens, turn it off, put it in the center of kitchen oven, set the temperature to 85°C and leave it there for 12 hours. Get it out carefully, turn it on when you can touch it and… ready to use

No case, and, if possible, no screen protector…

No. Also sad news the chemicals in pool likely killed it. Also thats an iphone 12 why and how did it get water damaged has it been repaired before

Just because it's an iphone 12 doesn't mean they can't get water damaged. It's water resistant, not waterproof. The water resistance seal becomes loose overtime. The 12 series of phones are now 2 years old.

Never been repaired before. I honestly have no clue. Someone else brought it up earlier and got downvoted to hell by people who wouldn’t bother to explain why or how..

All phones with an IP rating are not water proof, just water resistant.

Yeah me too. I’m kinda irked. It was in the pool (shallow side) 20 seconds at most..

Fuck man that sucks. Maybe it’s a sign, the universe wants you to get a new phone?!! Legend has it, you could do that then get it ‘stolen’ and your insurance would reimburse you if you pay with visa lol
