iPhone XR flashing apple logo - possible water damage

Hi there,


Have tried the suggestions of:


(i) clicking Volume Up, Volume Down and holding down the on/off button. No change.


(Ii) using a lighting cable, connecting to a Mac, but the Mac does not even recognise that the XR is connected.


The phone was briefly immersed in water 2 days ago. It worked perfectly for the following 24 hours until I went for a walk in the rain and it got rained on while responding to calls. That’s when the flashing logo started.


I can see some condensation around the front facing camera. The phone was due the latest upgrade.


Please tell me there is a solution. I love my XR and don’t want to upgrade!


Thanks & regards,

Kate

Perhaps it's not too late to grab a plastic bag, preferably a common zipper storage bag and fill it up with uncooked rice, then place your iphone in the plastic bag and make sure it is fully immersed in the rice. Make sure to take out as much air as possible from the bag and zip it up. Let the iPhone remain in the rice for at least 24 hours (preferably 48 hours)...
