Reply to comment by yiannisred in 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 inside by irisd23

Can’t just stick it in rice? :c

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. 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.

“All phones” includes iPhones…. Every single one since water resistance was first advertised on the 7.

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
