Is it just a matter of time?

Sooo I just got an iPhone from Verizon. The 2nd day I have it, I get it wet. Go me. What basically happened is I accidentally dipped my iPhone into a shallow cup of milk. It didnt dip any further than a little over the charger port (like mid way to the bottom button) . This was last night. I shut it off immediately after I saw a message saying that whatever was was trying to get into the charging port couldnt be recognized.
I let it off for about three hours and turned it on to see that everything was fine. I took a little bit of rubbing alcohol and cleaned out port incase milk dried inside there and charged it. It works alive and well today but is it just a matter of time before something happens to it bc of this stupid accident?

Ouch. It might take some time

Didn't anyone tell you iPhones don't taste better with milk??? lol

OT: I only can speak from others experience with standard mobiles (pre-smartphone era) - usually is a matter of time and you're cooked.

Oh yeah Try throwing the phone into some uncooked rice

Have a look in your charger port if you have a pink line it is damaged and will not be under warranty due to liquid damage if no pink line you may be lucky and got away with it.

I would buy some phone insurance .... its a simple mistake to make and it could happen to any of us, not stupid at all just not paying attention to what your doing ;p
