My iphone got wet, can i retrieve my data???

Yesterday, I was at a pool party with my friends and i brought my iphone 5s that was in a water-proofed bag(its like a ziplock bag but more secure) to the pool (for you know selfies and ****) and i put the bag with my iphone in my pocket then went in to the pool. Of course, I was very unsure with this idea but my friend said it'll be okay so i just left it in my pocket for just about 1 min or 30 sec in the pool because i got worried and checked it. WELL WHAT DID I KNOW, WATER WAS IN THE BAG BUT LITERALLY MY IPHONE GOT WATER DAMAGED BY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BAG. And yes, i checked if the bag would be secure many times before i went in the water. So after i realized that my phone got water damaged, i immediately wiped it with a towel and blow dried it for 10 min or so but nothing occurred, screen was still black. I was trying to find a bag of rice but of course, it was a pool party, noone has a bag of rice1?!?? So i just put my iphone to sit and didnt touch it until i got home. Then after i got home, I put my iphone in a bag of rice overnight. Today, it still doesnt show any signs of resurrection so im going to take it to apple this week.
Well, life isn't naive so i just accepted it plus im in apple care so whenever my phone gets damaged, it'll be repaired by apple but one thing i'm worried is about the data because it has been a month since i last backed up my phone.
Can apple retrieve my data (especially my photos, photos are so important)? What should i do to retrieve it in any way possible???
Any suggestions or advices are appreciated, thanks. But please dont suggest the rice method because as said above, ive already tried that and it doesnt work.

so if i put my iphone back in the rice, would it work again???
There's no guarantee, especially as you turned it on while it was still wet. Put it in the rice for a week and hope. If you can get silica gel that's better than rice.

  • I have broken my iphone 4. Can I retrieve icloud data using an Iphone 3gs and the same sim?

    My iphone 4 is broken due to water damage.
    I'm considering purchasing a cheap iphone until my upgrade.
    If I bought and iphone 3gs would I be able to retrieve the date from my icloud (contacts etc) for the 3gs?
    Thanks
    Sarah

    To access iCloud all your iPhone needs is iOS 5 or later and an Internet connection, either via cell service or WiFi. Then just set up iCloud with the same Apple ID and password you've been using on your iPhone 4.
    You might want to consider just getting your iPhone 4 replaced by Apple. Based on the prices I've seen for iPhone 3GS units, Apple's replacement price isn't that much more, and you'll be certain of getting a working, non-hacked iPhone.  Apple's replacement price for the iPhone 4 is US $149.

  • My Iphone got wet can I put the sim card on a new one and keep my data

    How do you get data and contact info from the bad iphone

    Data is not stored on the SIM card of the iPhone. Had you synced it with your computer? If not, your data may be lost if the iPhone is fully nonfunctional. If it still functions, you might attempt to sync it and see what you can recover from it or possibly see if you can manually get your info out and into the new phone.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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 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.

  • 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).

  • HT4061 My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    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.

  • Lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Help! I've lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Hi
    There are two options for you :
    1) Setup the mail which contains the contacts on your iPhone by going to Settings > Mail Contacts and Calendars > Add account and once setup is complete come back to the same path and click on your email account name and turn on contacts.
    2) Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Either of these two should fix your issue.
