I accidentally dropped my iPhone 15 into my dog's water bowl but managed to retrieve it quickly. It's still functioning, and I used an air canister designed for electronics to blast it dry. After some research, I found advice about powering it off and placing it in front of a fan. I'm wondering how long I should leave it like that and if it's safe to power on in about 12 hours, as I need to use it for navigation tomorrow. Will it be okay?

You should be fine! Newer iPhones can handle up to 6 meters of water for 30 minutes, so a quick dip in a dog bowl shouldn’t be an issue.
It should be okay! I dropped my Samsung A3 in the snow once and found it working perfectly after a week. Electronics often handle unexpected moisture pretty well if you get them dry quickly.
Honestly, you probably don’t need to worry too much. It might sound a bit funky if there's water in the speakers, but there are videos on YouTube with cool tricks to help clear it out. Just a heads up, using compressed air can actually push water into the internals, which isn’t ideal. Overall, your iPhone 15 is definitely water-resistant enough for that incident.
Just curious, but how do you own a waterproof phone and not know about its water resistance? That’s a bit surprising!
