I dropped my phone into my bathtub, and it died. What should I do?

So i was basically doing something with water, but i dropped my iphone xr, so i got out as quickly as I can. My phone 30 minutes later was almost dead, so I went to charge it, but it wouldn’t charge. So my phone is now dead and I have no idea what to do. Im broke, and dont have money for a new iphone.

iPhone 6s Plus

Being dropped in the bathtub means it was under water for a brief moment in time. I don’t think I’ll continue to participate in these forums. It seems as if ppl are more concerned with the opinion of others than the actual problem itself. These discussions should totally be based on a solution and something that can possibly help with the problem and with someone willing to and try someone else solution with accepting that it may or may not work. How else will anyone ever know these little life hacks if they’re not shared or not tried by anyone else? Opinions should be held to a minimum because your opinion could prevent someone from getting the solution they could use opposed to not having any options at all. This is not somewhere you should look for a friend or vent on because of your failed or lack of experience of other ways. The problem and out of the ordinary experiences that have help ppl is the objective here. If it has been researched all ready I’m sure Apple would have stated something of this nature of it being harmful.
