Screen repair

Hi, I dropped my phone in water and everything works fine other than the coloring of the screen. It starts with yellow lines when I first turn it on but it goes away after a while, and reappear when the content on my screen is dark. Would I be fine getting just a screen repair or are there other issues?

iPhone XS Max damage My phone sustained some water damage from the ocean. It was fine for a few hours later but then the screen started to glitch. The touch wouldn’t work on some places and then later the whole touch screen wasn’t working. Does Apple trade in phones with broken touch or is it better to get the screen replaced?

Once water gets into a device, you will have to replace the entire device.

Best bet is contact Apple Support for your options.

Water damage is not covered by any warranty.

Get your phone checked by Apple or any Apple authorized service provider and they’ll let you know what needs to be fixed.
