How much does it cost to repair a water damaged iPhone?

A little over a month ago my dad had his iPhone 5C in his pocket and he fell in the lake and damaged the phone. We put it in rice but it's completely dead. On average, what's the cost to repair it if I take it into a store? I don't want to take it to Apple because I know it will be really expensive, but I found a place nearby that offers to fix damaged phones. You can bring the phone in, and they give an estimate to see if they can fix it and how much it'll cost. But before I take it in, I'd like to know about how much it might cost to see if it's worth it.

Go and get an estimate. It depends entirely on how much the circuits and hardware are damaged. Without seeing this, it's impossible to know how much it'll cost to fix.

It depends on the store but i think ui should just get a new iphone because the price to repair your iphone will probably be more than getting a new one. P.S-mabe you can find a youtube viedo to get your iphone repaired(you could give it a try)

Well, the first thing you have to avoid is to return it to the Apple store or even the Carphone Warehouse and try to pretend that the problem is has nothing to do with water. You should know that the Iphone has got 4 'liquid submersion indicators' within it that turn pink when it comes into contact with water or any other liquid. So, they'll easily know if you are lying.

Cell phones are not water proof and it depends on whether its completely fried It would probably cost more to fix it then buying a new one Also depends on the shop you take it too, what city your in, fairly impossible to guess. My cost your costs two different things.

Chuck it charlie. You cooked that toy.
