water in my front and back iPhone 14 Pro Max camera and my side button is not working all of a sudden

So I dropped my phone in the pool at first. It was just the front camera that had condensation now it’s the back as well and I also noticed that now my side button is not working at all. What can I do?

Chances are you'll be looking at buying a new phone. Water and electronics are mortal enemies. If the phone still works, BACK IT UP immediately. Then power it off and put it a dry place for a couple days. DO NOT put it rice. That can cause even more issues. If after a couple days it can be turned back on and operates normally, you MIGHT be OK. But chances are it won't be OK and Apple won't ever attempt to try to fix a water damaged phone. Hence, why the be prepared to buy a new iPhone.
