Condensation in iPhone 11 pro camera

So my phone fell out my pocket and into the toilet when I was about to use the bathroom. I quickly took the phone out and dried it off. I turned it on and everything was fine at first. I wiped it off again with an alcohol wipe for tech. Then my phone started to say that Face ID was disabled. My camera seemed okay at the time. As the day went on I started to see condensation in my cameras. When I got home I put my phone in rice for 13 hours. The Face ID was still disabled. The condensation was still there. I used a hair dyer which took it away for a few seconds. Right now I have my phone under a fan with the SIM card tray is out. Please help me? I don’t really have money for a repair.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Be prepared to purchase either an Out of Warranty replacement phone or a new phone. Water damage can't be repaired.

Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar, where they'll offer you an Out of Warranty replacement, which for an iPhone 11 Pro will cost $549 04 $599 if it's an 11 Pro Max. Or you can recycle the phone and just buy a brand new iPhone.

See this link for Out of Warranty pricing --> iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support

Water damage is not warranted. Water Resistant doesn't mean it can't sustain damage if it goes for a swim, whether intentional or not. Water resistance is measured in controlled laboratory conditions and on a phone which is brand new and its water seals pristine. As you use a phone, drop it occasionally, its water resistance can be diminished.

Don't shoot the messenger here. Apple won't replace the phone for free. And it has sustained liquid damage, so you're going to need to find some way to buy either a new phone or an Out of Warranty phone. Sorry.

Pretty sure I mentioned that I don't have money for a replacement. Why would a phone be marketed as water resistant when it can’t handle being in a little bit water for a few seconds. About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support That's apple’s claims about what the phone can handle so would that mean that they are spewing misleading claims and then charging $550 for a phone that isn’t even worth such. Like give me a real solution and maybe actually read what I wrote.
