Getting your iPhone or Android phone wet is one of the worst things that can happen to it for a couple of reasons. First, water is one thing that can absolutely make your iphone unusable.

What are my options with a wet iPhone

Even though your iphone may be under warranty Apple will not replace it if there is water damage. In the iPhone there are 4 sensors, two of which you can see. The first visible sensor is the earpiece hole. The second one is located at the bottom middle seperating the connector. If you shine a light on these then look at any of the two sensors, they will have turned pink if the iphone came into contact with water. If either of these sensors is pick apple will not replace the phone.
