That's only if you can make it over the bridge without collapse, right? 😎

You have a few options here.
1. If your only concern is to have a working phone and cost is not a factor, then your best option would be to have Apple replace the device under their out of warranty replacement program.
2. If, however, your data is important then you'll need to pursue a 3rd party who specializes in liquid damage data recovery.
3. Take it to a local 3rd party repair shop to have it diagnosed. Often liquid damaged devices can be easily repaired by replacing a few parts or a simple cleaning. It is important to find a place that will remove the EMI shields on the logic board and properly clean the entire board though. Often these places will not charge for the time it takes to look at and diagnose the phone and if repair is possible it will be much cheaper than replacing the entire phone
Repairing a liquid damaged device for the sake of the device is always a gamble though, and I'd recommend the first option for long term reliability, the second option if your data is the most important factor, and the 3rd option if you can't afford the first.

They are not Apple parts.
It's really simple, I can't understand why you can't understand it, genuine Apple parts are supplied by Apple, no-one else.
Lets try this. Where does Apple get their parts from?

Bro (can I call you bro?), Apple does not make parts. I can't understand why you can't understand that. Genuine Apple parts come from 3rd party manufacturers per Apple's specs. Apple designs software and a hardware layout to run said software, they do not manufacture parts!
Once you wrap your mind around that concept, we can continue.
Bridge, ****. I wouldn't trust those 2-ply tires supplied by the car manufacturers in my own driveway!

If you want to know who Apples parts suppliers are why don't you ask Apple.

****************** We know, you know, that Apple doesn't make parts. They buy their parts from the manufacturer. So if the the good third parties get the same parts from the same manufacturer that really doesn't factor into what you believe Csound1?

Thank you, Trent. That was better stated than what I was able to muster.

No. Apple buys those parts and they subsequently supply them to nobody. Apple supplies zero, zilch, nada, zip, nothing, bupkus.
Trent they are Apples parts, because Apple designed and paid for the manufacture of them.

Apple are the sole supplier of Apple parts, not the manufacturer, it's a fine distinction I know.
No need. We already know, because we get them from the same place.

If, as you allege, Apple is the supplier of Apple parts, to whom do they supply those parts?

in response to Trent DTrent they are Apples parts, because Apple designed and paid for the manufacture of them.
This statement is mostly correct. There are some parts commissioned by Apple that the manufacturers have binding contracts to not sell to others. Sometimes it is actually possible to get those part at an inflated price. (that is besides the point). But for transistors and resistors the tiny tiny parts. There is no binding contract. New parts are plentiful in those cases.
Are transistors still really used?
