When an iPhone falls into the water, the first thing you do - or you are tempted to do - turn it is to see if it works.
There is nothing more wrong. And if the water is salty, then the possibility that our Apple-phone continues to do his work are really tiny.
Here's why. Electronic equipment are a set of components and assemble than a circuit diagram or the circuit breaker. The electrical circuit, and therefore its components, is crossed by the current according to a specific "network", which is why the tracks are isolated from each other. Even the electronic components are isolated, enclosed in a mostly homes that allow them to be in contact with the circuit at a given point, and not to interfere with the rest.
When a complex electronic circuit - and therefore runs very close to each other and components as the iPhone - is immersed in a liquid, in the first place if it alters the conductivity. If the liquid is quite lead, then the components and the tracks are no longer isolated from each other, and wander through the current circuit in a totally random. It may happen that a point that should be at a voltage of 3 volts, for example, are 5V, often irreparably damage the components that have very tight tolerances.
If the liquid is not very pretty but conductor insulation, such as distilled water, nothing happens to serious, but the likelihood of this happening is very remote. Basically, most of the liquid, and then water, which may come into contact with the iPhone contain dissolved salts which give a certain conductivity. The extreme case is the sea water, which is very conductive containing sodium chloride - and many other salts - which are deposited as soon as it dries on the circuits. Sodium chloride is also corrosive, so if your iPhone falls into the sea should remove it as soon as possible and remove the battery and then completely remove the salt.
water, contrary to what one might expect, is not corrosive, is the case for the presence of the salts that carry oxygen and passivating action on metals. But the immersion time of an iPhone, since - hopefully - do not produce very limited corrosion by immersion, which instead occur on the hulls of boats as consistently placed in water, but when do the drying, or in the air.

My advice, therefore, is to leave it as soon as the phone to someone who can perform all operations necessary for the removal of deposits and drying, we strongly advise against turning on the phone to see if it still works. This, in fact, it is totally destructive and reduce the chances of restoring your iPhone.
If you have no chance to consult an expert in a short time, do a temporary but very effective - and not resolving - is to take a clear plastic bag large enough, throw in a couple of cups of rice (the one that goes soft of any brand), flatten, put on a pair of absorbent material, and place the iPhone wet, and then close the bag incorporating a bit of air (as a kind of balloon) and leave the iPhone in for a few days. This will allow water to evaporate and become lodged in rice by osmosis, completely wiping the iPhone. The deposits, however, will remain, and should be removed using appropriate procedures, which will keep you updated in a dedicated post.
Enjoy!
