The iPhone, like many other electronics, breaks down if it is "dropped" in water and the liquid manages to enter the internal components of the terminal. Those from iFixYourI they made a small video in which they demonstrate the steps to be followed after dropping your iPhone in water, or the terminal came into contact with water through different methods. According to them, you have to turn off the phone completely, remove the card from it and put it in a bag full of rice, sealed, and the water in the terminal will "evaporate" by itself in a few days.
If you live in the US, then it's even better because iFixYourI boasts a 90% recovery rate for terminals that have come into contact with water. Of course, after this contact, the phone's humidity sensors will be triggered and your warranty will be voided.
