Barely related: When my brother dropped his iPhone in a harbor, it took me about 3 minutes to find it with my toes in the frigid, chest deep water, but when as I lifted it to the surface it was still running with it's hello screen glowing.
A quick mechanical dewatering, clean water rinse, and another dewatering followed by a couple days of desiccant and gentle warmth and it mostly recovered. The camera did not survive, and a volume button is flakey.
I wonder if there is a business to had with a scooter, some anhydrous alcohol, and some vacuum desiccators. I suspect most toilet/pool drops could be recovered if you could train consumers to call for the superhero on the scooter to rush in, dewater, clean, and leave a loaner desiccator for the customer.
