My iPhone 16 is new, I have for a month, never dropped or any damaged related to fall. Today I was in the pool with my children and my son threw the phone in the water. Since then, the phone has been turning on and off by itself non-stop. it stays on for a couple of minutes and it shuts down and then it turns on again by itself. the phone has battery.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Greetings!
We appreciate your post in the Apple Support Community. Given the situation, the best course of action is to immediately take your iPhone to a certified repair center or directly to Apple. Even though the iPhone 16 Pro Max is water-resistant, this resistance can degrade over time or due to wear, and water exposure can still cause serious internal damage. Since the phone is already showing issues, such as turning on and off, it is crucial not to try to dry it yourself or continue using it, as this might lead to further damage, including short circuits or corrosion.

Soviel zu der so oft angenommenen Dichtheit :)
Bestätigt doch was ich/wir hier immer wieder schreiben (müssen). Selbst frisch aus dem Karton ist nichts dicht.
Karina: The device must be packed airtight and taken to a qualified workshop for professional rinsing and drying as quickly as possible.
