IPhone XR stuck in boot loop for unknown reason?

One day I had dropped my phone into a mop bucket, the water was very shallow and the mop inside the bucket stopped the phone from making contact with said mop water. After I quickly took it out the phone was just fine, a couple hours later I left my phone off and when I went to turn it on it started boot looping. I was super confused and didn’t know why it was acting like this despite it being fine earlier, I decided to contact Apple support and didn’t get much help. I decided to take matters into my own hands and do research, I tried restarting it, didn’t work, I tried force restarting it, didn’t work. No type of restart worked, I don’t have a windows pc which I find very odd you can only access the Apple devices app on windows. I haven’t downloaded anything on my phone, I haven’t been on any suspicious sightseeing, nowadays I barely use my phone, what is going on?? So now I’m left with no options and a boot looping phone, is it best to say that I just need a new phone and to move on?
