It is not waterproof, and will not survive immersion. The right think to do would have been to turn it off and let it dry out for a week. There’s a small chance it will work long enough to back it up to restore to the phone you buy to replace it.


Apple will replace it for a discounted price as an out-of-warranty repair. Here are details—>iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support. If you purchased AppleCare+ when you bought the phone the price will be $99 (scroll to Is your iPhone covered by AppleCare+?).
