IPhone got wet... Now What

While on vacation, and while in a Lifeproof case, the srew came out as I was snorkeling underwater and the my IPhone 5 became wet and turned off. I dried everything as much as I could and took out the sims card. I even stuck the phone in rice for 3 days. Still nothing. My contract isn't up with AT&T until next September. 2 questions: 1. Will any data be able to restored by the Genius Bar by chance? There were pictures and texts that I would love to get off of there. Also, regarding apps, will they all be restored if I get a new phone?
2. Will AT&T have any leniency with price points if you aren't eligible for an upgrade yet? It's looking to be almost $600 for the Iphone 5s 32gb which is crazy. That's what I paid for my first iphone, which I get, but definitely don't want to do that for a replacement.
Thoughts!??? You don't realize how much that little device is your LIFE untiil you lose it...
Thanks!

Put it in a bag of rice or silica gel. Leave it there for a week. Do NOT attempt to power it on or charge it before the end of the week.
If it still doesn't work after that, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

My iphone got wet and is now stuck on silent

My iphone got wet in my pocket today and now is permanently stuck on silent. The sound is still working when I check ringtones in settings so that's not damaged and everything else seems to be working.......... How do I fix this?

You need to let it dry out first. Put the phone in a plastic bag with rice and let it soak out the water. Also make sure your silent switch has not been turned on by accident.

The phone is damaged. Take it in to an Apple Store or authorized service provider. More than likely you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo. Please help.

Hi,
My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo. Please help.

Take it in for service or most likely out of warranty replacement. Water damage voids your warranty so you will need to pay towards the replacement.
Cheers

You can try and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days or so, but don't get your hopes up. If that doesn't work, you get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone.

My iphone got wet in the rain. the camera light is now permanently on - any clues

my iphone got wet in the rain and does not appear to be working - the camera light is permanently on...

Does the camera work correctly? I have seen this before on iPhone 4, so may not apply to 4S. But if camera does not work, then simple camera replacement could be the next step to fixing this problem of both camera and flash (they are combined part).

My iphone got wet how do i get it to work again- it won't turn on.

Got caught in a rainstorm and my iPhone got wet-- how do I get it to turn on again...it won't turn on? I've already tried putting it in rice for 2 days and nothing. Any other suggestions?

Let it dry for a week or so.
If you have tried to charge it or turn it on, then the damage is likely done

A liquid damaged iPhone 4 can be replaced by Apple for $149.
By the way... and electrical short can be dangerous, creating a fire or explosion hazard. You can see the short that's affecting the flash... It's the short you may not see that's affecting the battery and/or charging circuitry that's the problem.
Get it replaced.

Yes it does, although I wa a minute faster than you. To see if someone is parroting you, or that they just posted at the same time, look at the head of the post and it will show you the data and time of the post and who they were responding to. Looking at that first saves some misinformation in future posting.
You'll see some posts where there will be 5 posts all in the same minute sometimes. Answer posts late at night and you won't see as many.
BTW, I clicked the Like button on your post where you gave the link for the users manual.

Thank you. I told it to the apple store in Southampton and they were fab. I was lucky and there was no water damage, the water indicators didn't change colour. It was just bad luck my screen failed at the same time as it got wet!! Screen changed and all is well. Thank you Genuis Tom and West Quay!!

Since it has notservice, it obviously does not "works perfectly fine".

One or the other or both.
Contact your cell carrier and/or take the phone into an Apple store.
FYI: wet is considered accidental damage and is not covered under warranty.
$269 (in U.S.) to replace the phone at Apple.

Phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon and sometimes connect to itunes

3gs phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon alternating with connect to itunes

You didn't connect it to your computer or to power, did you?
Wipe it down, put it in a baggie with raw rice or new silica gel packets and set it in a cool, dry area, like a cupboard. Leave it there for 3 - 4 days.
Take it out after this time, wipe it off, use a soft brush to wipe any rice dust from the dock connector, and connect it to your wall charger. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes and then Reset it while it is connected to power. May take several tries. If it revives fully charge it.
If this does not work you can do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple for $199 USD.
