Sorry, just so I understand ... you placed your iPhone X in water to cool it down. You do understand that your phone is not water-proof ... right? By placing it in water, you may have caused additional damage to it and maybe the reason it doesn't work.


At this point, I would suggest that you stop using it and make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them take a look and provide you with your options.
