I accidentally dropped my iPhone 6 in the toilet and, to make matters worse, I didn't turn it off right away. It was still working after the fall, so I put it in front of a fan to dry it out for several hours. Now I'm worried that I might have caused irreversible damage since I used an app during that time. Is there anything I can do to assess the damage, or is it already too late?

You should definitely give it 24-48 hours to dry out. If, after that time, there are no signs of moisture in the ports or the screen, you might be in the clear. Just remember to keep it off while it dries to avoid any further issues. If you can, consider opening it up to check for any corrosion, but only if you're comfortable doing that. Good luck!
I’m really worried since it was on for a few hours after dropping it. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens!
