How to fix water damaged iPhone?

I was using an iPhone 6 since 2014. Yesterday, I tweeted a tweet because my phone was placed in the washing machine and it was washing. I tweeted that my iPhone was washed in the washing machine. This phone was soaked with water for at least an hour and when I tried to power on a water-damaged phone, it doesn't work. More info in my tweet "Evan Lei on Twitter: "Unfortunately, my #iPhone6 was washed in the washing machine on my #birthday and I recently turned 16, and my #iPhone doesn't work anymore after water damage! I have to buy a new phone this weekend! #waterdamage #damagediPhone #broken #sad 😢😢😢😢" / Twitter"

That sort of soaking and agitation would have forced water into the phone. It almost certainly suffered catastrophic short circuits that fried it beyond repair or recovery. Your only recourse at this point is to buy a replacement. That device will be fired, and will be steadily corroding internally as it was water saturated, not just exposed to a splash or drip.

Water and electronics don't mix. Yours didn't just get wet, it was soaked.

It's dead. You'll have to replace it.
