Dropped iPhone 5 in water, Replacement?
Added (1). So last night i accidentally dropped my iPhone 5 in water and it's fried. It's in rice now but i have little hope for it. Problem is my family did not buy a warranty for the phone so it would cost like $269 to replace (i think thats right). Would it be cheaper to just buy a different smart phone? Could I get all my contacts and stuff back? Also, could I downgrade to like the iPhone 4 and still keep everything? Thank you! I leave for college very soon so this is imperative haha!
Replacement cost? $569 for a 16gb.
Cheaper to go different? Heck yeah. Buy used from Ebay or Amazon. Buy a locked (to your carrier only). Unlocked is way to expensive.
Downgrade? They don't care what you use. It can be a tin can and string. That you pay the bill is all they care about.
Will you get stuff back? Depends on if the phone powers up and functions well enough to sync to iTunes. Worst case, you can use an older iTunes or iCloud backup on a 'new' 4. When you set up just select from the restore options and not 'set up as new' option. How much you get back (if any) is hard to guess right now.
Try this and best luck.

- Replacement Pending iPhone. Replacement phone or fix? My iphone is being repaired and on the apple service page it says 'iPhone replacement pending' and below it says repair complete… I was wondering if this meant that my phone has been repaired or if Apple are sending a replacement iphone different than the original.
- Iphone 4 water damage replacement? So I spilled a lot of Pepsi on my iphone. I quickly dried it off put little water on front and back.
