Is my phone gone forever?

The other day, I dropped my iPhone 5s in the toilet. It was only in there for 2 seconds but it shut off anyway. I tried to turn it back on (I later learned that it was a mistake) but it didn't. I put it in rice for a day and pulled it out but it still doesn't work?

Your mind is what you should be worried about

More likely than not, yes, it is gone.

Hope you have a backup of your files somewhere, otherwise, you're out of luck.

IPhone 5s is outdated.

You could check an Apple Store about it.

It's done. Powering it while wet killed it, doesn't matter what you do afterwards. By the way, the rice thing doesn't work, it's a myth.

I continue to be amazed at how many people drop their phones into toilets. How does this even happen? Why do so many people hold their phones over toilet bowls?
