iPhone 12 mini water damaged

I dropped my iPhone 12 mini in a bath tub last night for like 3 seconds and it worked perfectly fine after until about a little after noon today and it’s blacking out and I can’t see it

Your phone has water damage. The mistake was to try to use it before it dried out thoroughly, that reduces the chance that the phone will be usable without repair. At this point you should contact Apple to discuss repair options:

Apple’s formal support can be reached several ways:

Click on “Support” at the top of this page
Go to Contact Official Apple Support

Note that both of the above have options to receive a callback or chat

Install the Apple Support app on your iPhone or iPad - you can contact support directly from the app, and the tech will have (with your permission) access to diagnostic data on your phone
Call Apple Support; the phone numbers are in this link→Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store→Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
Find an Apple store or Apple partner service provider→Find Locations
