Why do they put pockets in swimming Trunks?

So yesterday, a slightly annoying event happened..

I'd gotten changed ready to get in the hot tub, put my phone in my trunk pockets because I was waiting for 30 mins or so. I get in the hot tub and after about 10-15 mins I feel something falling out my pocket... My iPhone was now sodden. Then to add on to this, the day before I put a new screen on, loosing all the waterproofability that it had in the first place if the screen wasn't cracked. I got out, dried it off and put it in a bowl of rice. After we had finished in the hot tub, I took it out and shook out the water as much as I could. I then grabbed some silica gel and put it around the phone with rice around that to for the night and left it in the boiler cupboard. Its been in there about 14 hours so I took it out and checked if I could shake any water out, nothing comes out. Should I try to power it on or what?

 

Thanks,

Doug

Leave it in silica gel or rice for a few more days

You don't want to have a risk of literally any liquid. Let it sit for a few days.

If something is even a little wet inside it can short something out and brick your phone (if it's not already)
