On Monday morning, I awoke to find my iPhone partially submerged in water in the Eskimo Joe's cup I keep on my nightstand. I remember vaguely waking up in the middle of the night and checking the time on it. My guess? Afterward, I tossed it into the cup.
I've been kicking myself a lot since then. First, for buying the phone in the first place. It was pricey, but I had gift cards that I was able to apply toward it, plus I told myself it would come in handy as I try to grow my home business (in short, I justified the heck out of buying it). Secondly, as I was purchasing it, I thought, "Hey, I'll save money by NOT buying the insurance." Thirdly, I've really grown to love it, which makes me really, really, really want to run out and replace it right now.
According to online sources that I came across thanks to the Twitter hashtag #iPhoneInWater (and my husband's friend who works on gadgets for a living), sealing the phone up in a bag of dry rice for three days MIGHT bring it back from the dead.
Given the year I've had so far, I probably should do without an iPhone if it won't work after the three days is up and instead opt for a much, much cheaper replacement. I really hope it does work, though. Otherwise, I fear I'll spend more money I shouldn't.
Though if I do, I'm getting insurance.
