Water damage iPad

My iPad has sat in water for approximately 5 days or so and I took it out and dried it off and thought it was normal but now it is glitching and I have it sitting in rice and now I do not know what to do. Can I do a trade in for a new iPad ?

Water and electronics do not make happy bedfellows. Your iPad is not designed to be water resistant. While it may survive being splashed with water if immediately dried, it will suffer irreparable damage if submerged.


Apple does not accept damaged or non-functional devices for trade-in - but, if taken to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP), will recycle your damaged device for free.
