Got dunked with my phone, need assistance

[WilliApple]

Greetings! Earlier today, I was at a party, and we were dunking each other, and I had my phone in my hand when I got dunked.

First, my speakers sounded terrible, and my microphone quality was horrible. I tried vacuuming the water out of the speakers + mics, and that sorta fixed it. A few hours later, it had minor bad quality that I could deal with until I get a new phone (In a few years)

That brings us to now.
I tried to go to bed, and I cannot charge my phone because there is apparently still liquid in the port.

I can wireless charge, but can't wire charge (There goes my 100% battery capacity...)

If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

Thanks!

If you haven’t already, do a full backup of your phone to your computer via WiFi or do an iCloud backup.

I would blow the port with a warm stream of air from a hair dryer for a good while.

Off topic , I only wireless charge and my 13pro is still at 100% from release day.

the op mentions an iPhone 13 in his sig line and they are supposed to be ok down to 6 meters for 30 minutes. How the hell can they claim this if the phone is damaged by a little dunk?

Reviving this..., I dropped my 13P in the jacuzzi; it was underwater for about three seconds and about 18" deep. Since then, I have charged it twice (in four days) with the lightning port, the rest wireless. I had it in a bag of rice for 24 hours over two days with no luck.

This is terrible timing, as I was going to trade in my daughter's SE to get me a 15P and then give this one to her. My 15P is waiting at the Verizon store while I figure this out.

Has anyone repaired/replaced a charging port before?
