How to temporarily break an iphone 5?
So i currently have an iphone 5 with so many problems but i want the new galaxy s4 so i don't want to take it to apple and get it replaced. I have the money for it, its just my parents won't let me just buy a new phone with a decently working iphone. My plan is to say "its broken internally and apple can't fix it" and get the galaxy s4 (and put the iphone in a drawer or something) and a month or so later say "I just tried to turn on my old broken iphone just to see if it would work while cleaning out my drawers and it turned on!" and my parents will just let me sell it on craigslist or to a friend. The question is, how can i temporarily break my iphone to the point of defectiveness but then recover it after i get the s4. How can i show my parents that my iphone won't turn on or don't do anything but then make it work later?
Please don't say "your spoiled" or "just keep it" because i payed for my iphone and i pay the monthly bill. If i don't like it, i can buy myself a new one, its just my parents won't let me. Thanks in advance
Added (1). I can't get it wet or heat it up because that causes permanent damage.
Drop it in water then quickly take it out and put it in rice? That should work if not bake it in the oven for 1min on 250•
Put it in water, wait about 5 minutes then take a hammer and hit it as hard as you can, that probably won't do the job… So then Throw it out your window and run it over with your car. It should only have a little crack on it, then put it in pancake powder then add water. You should be good from there
Put in dfu mode
If it has one and you don't think that your parents won't think to look you could take the SIM card out and tell them you are unable to receive/send phone calls and texts

- Not receive texts temporarily? I would like to know how to not receive texts temporarily, but then you get them when you want. I know you can put your phone on airplane mode but it will show if my phone is on airplane mode so when my dad checks it he will turn airplane mode off and my phone will receive the texts. Is there any other way that I can temporarily not receive texts but then get the texts after I turn an option off? By the way, I have an iPhone!
