I walked into the boat launch and forgot I had my iPhone XR in my pocket the phone went less then half way into the water for about a second bc I realized immediately. I have put it in rice and dry it out yet I still have colored lines on my screen. Is there anything I can do? Absolutely ridiculous seeing they are rated to be fully submerged for 30 minutes
iPhone XR, iOS 13
No iPhone is waterproof.
Water resistant is not the same thing.
The 30 minutes thing is how the device was tested under laboratory conditions, it is not a suggestion for real world use.

To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:
You have damaged the screen.

Never said it was waterproof you are literally no help. Just expected it to actually be a little resistant
Unfortunately, your phone was liquid damaged, regardless on the amount of time it was submerged (partially or fully). Apple's 1-year hardware warranty does not cover this type of damage. If you elected to get an AppleCare+ plan with this phone, and it is still active, you may be able to get a replacement phone at a reduced cost.
Using rice, or any other form of desiccant, will not help. The reasons is, even if the rice could absorb all of the liquid, any trace minerals in the liquid would be left behind and potentially cause short-circuits. This can result in potentially further damage with continued use of the phone.

You also wasted the rice.
