No iPhone ever made is water proof. They are water resistant, but when dropped in water, as you have now learned, they can be damaged. And liquid damage is not covered by warranty, nor repairable. So your choices are:


  1. Purchase an Out of Warranty replacement which will cost about 60% of the cost of phone when new OR
  2. Purchase a brand new phone
