iPhone glitching after shower

Recently I took my iPhone in the shower. I accidentally got it super wet though. After this, the speaker is very distorted (it’s bad whilst writing) the WiFi and the phone itself is very slow, and when I type in App Library, the keyboard goes sideways. Please help!

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Your iPhone has very likely been catastrophically damaged.

iPhones are water resistant, nothing more and nothing less. Waterproof, they are not. More than likely you’ve caused irreparable damage to your iPhone.


If you have Apple Care+ or a 3rd party protection and damage plan you might request a replacement. Otherwise, check your homeowners or renters insurance or coverage by a credit card you used for the purchase.

I put it on the sink but I needed to use it but then someone (I would like to keep their name private) came in and scared me and I dropped it on the shower floor. It’s not an old phone or anything. Most of the problems have gone (except for a moisture warning that I’ll fix later and the speakers crackle at high volume) but I’ll just get Apple to fix it. Thanks anyway.
