With my infinite skill, I managed to fall into the pool along with iPhone 17 For a AirPods Pro 3rd generation. I was closing the cover of our pool and at that moment I somehow stumbled and I was already swimming. I already answered my wife's question about how a grown man can fall into a pool, so please keep it to yourself in the comments. For now iPhonewhich I had in my pocket I wasn't too worried, in case AirI thought the Pods were finished. Since we have a saltwater pool, we had to soak the headphones and phone again to remove any salt. We used distilled water and rinsed everything so that there was no salt left. The phone worked perfectly fine from the start. I even used some YouTube videos and shortcuts to let all the water drain out of the speakers using high-frequency sounds and the phone has been fine ever since.

When AirPods immediately after surfacing and washing in distilled water seemed like I would have to buy new ones. The headphones practically did not play and there was only some strange gurgling sound in them. After about an hour I tried them again and the sound was much better. We tried all possible sounds on YouTube and in shortcuts that are supposed to drive water out of the speakers and into the headphones and then left them alone until the next day. After about 24 hours the headphones started playing as before and everything is completely fine so far. Maybe our guide will help you how to save a flooded smartphoneoneI deliberately say the word "yet" because of course I cannot rule out that the salt water got somewhere it shouldn't have and will remain there for a long time.chat damage to the point of praise, when it is not manifested by the fact that whether iPhone or the headphones will stop working. However, both products are currently in perfect condition.

Since I'm around similarly skilled people like me, about 14 days after it happened to me, my friend's jacket fell out of his into the same pool. Samsung  Z Fold. Unfortunately, even though he pulled it out right away, it didn't work after the fall and he never managed to turn it on again. Moreover, my friend is quite paranoid and therefore doesn't use any cloud nor any other backup and so currently praying that at least the data will be recovered from the phone. So I have to sincerely praise Apple that even if a real accident happens once in a while, in which you basically don't even count on your products surviving, it is important to clean the products of salt immediately, notchat to dry it out properly and test the sounds that get water from the speakers. And of course, in my friend's case, it became clear how important it is to back up all data on Cloudu.
