Q: how can I get my water damage iphone 6 repaired

I have an Iphone 6 that decided to take a bath in the washing machine while turned on. Can I get it repair if so were? Should I just give it a funeral?

    Generally iPhones and water do not survive. You have the option to take it to Apple and see about an out of warranty replacement. This is at a reduced cost from a new phone, and comes with a 90 day warranty. If you do not wish to do this, you do have the option to seek a competent, 3rd party repair facility and see if they can repair the device. Up to you, but the out of warranty replacement gets you a device that has been refurbished by Apple, and still qualifies for continued Apple service, whereas the device if fixed by a 3rd party will no longer qualify for any Apple support.
