Today, my iPhone 15 Pro took an unexpected plunge into a public toilet at work. Thankfully, it was just clean water, but I'm still freaking out! I wiped it down with a dry rag and used some alcohol wipes to disinfect it. Right now, the phone seems to be working fine, but I'm worried that I might have messed something up by turning it on about 15 minutes after the incident. It's nearly a year old and has no cracks, but I'm looking for any advice on what steps I should take next.

If you're super concerned about cleanliness, maybe give it another good disinfecting! Just don't start a bonfire—you're better off with some wipes. Follow the usual precautions and you'll be good to go!
Honestly, most modern smartphones are built to be water-resistant, so this isn't really a big deal. Unless you've dropped it in something really nasty, it should handle this just fine.
You really gotta watch where you use your phone, though! Dropping it in a toilet is a bit wild. Just keep it clean and take care of it—these models are pretty sturdy, but that doesn't mean you should tempt fate!
Your phone will likely be fine! Just be aware that if you've had any repairs done, such as to the screen or battery, those could affect the waterproofing. But since your iPhone is fairly new, you probably don't have to worry too much. Just keep using it and see how it goes!
Your iPhone 15 Pro should be alright! It's rated IP68, which means it's designed to handle being submerged in water up to 6 meters for 30 minutes. Just be careful when you charge it; if you're uncertain, wait a while before plugging it in to make sure everything is completely dry.
I read that too! Should I hold off on charging it? It feels pretty dry, and the speakers seem fine.
