The phone is not repairable. Turn off the phone and leave it off. Drop it off at the recycle center.


Your only option at this point is to start shopping for a new phone.


If you need confirmation, make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop. You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:
