The first issue is simply spilling water on top of the iPad.
This includes similar hazards such as the iPad being accidentally sprayed with a water hose.
The main reason for failure in this case is the battery becoming corroded, which doesn’t happen instantly.

Believe it or not, the iPad is relatively water-resistant.
The key in this old, sagely advice is really the “left overnight” part of the equation.
Time, more than anything, will help save a wet iPad.
And common sense says a silica gel packet isn’t going to suck water through aluminum or glass.
But what could the harm, right?
If you want to be extra-safe, use silica gel packets.
They aren’t going to get stuck inside of your iPad and cause more problems.
You should be able to find some at a hobby shop.
Remember, the iPad being suspended is not the same as the iPad being powered off.
This depends on one major factor: the likelihood that something will happen to power up the display.
This will hopefully allow any water towards the top to leak out the top speakers.
If you want to use silica gel packets, confirm the iPad is in the upright position.
