Cracked Screen and Water Damaged iPhone! Help!

So I had previously cracked my screen a month ago and now I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. I immediately took it out and dried it and it was still working for a minute but then the screen started to show lines. I then turned it off and then put it into rice. Two hours later I turned it back on but all i had was a white screen and I tried turning it back off but it wouldnt so i left it on and the battery died. That was probably the dumbest thing i ever did but i wanted to see if it still worked. It has been 24 hrs since its been in rice and i tried charging it and it wont work.



I've seen where people have bought a new battery for their iphone and it starts working but I dont know if I should even try doing that because my screen was crack in the first place. Can someone please help me...thanks!

Wow. Difficult situation here. Screen replacement costs money and water damage is not covered with warranty.

You are lucky one if it will work after contact with water. Usually phones and water do not mix and water damage is not covered by warranty. Corrosion has already started. You should schedule a genius appointment at the Apple Store as to appraise the level of damages. They will offer you the best solution.
