If you phone is water damaged, it's too late to worry about data you didn't back up. The time to back up data is before something catastrophic happens. Water damaged phones cannot be repaired. You can purchase an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $319, but honestly, it would be smarter to buy a brand new iPhone SE, which was released just a couple weeks ago for $399.
