    not sure it's going to work. damn it, i just got it and im not eligible for a new one for a while with my plan, are iphones a constant price on or off contract? it might be time for one.

    Take apart all the components you can.

    Do you have uncooked rice? Stick the pieces in uncooked rice if you do. It'll suck up a lot of the moisture

    ^this is the most underrated trick ever. this revived my phone and i will forever be thankful to my chinese family for always having rice on hand.
    in canada at least, you have to pay up to $700 foro the new iphone. on a 3 year contract it's ~150 :|

    why would you let go of your phone anyway. mines always on me.
    i mean i would shower with it if i could.
