I have an iPhone 5, white, if that matters. About 6 months ago, i dropped my iPhone and it cracked, but it has been working 100% fine since then. However, yesterday, my friend dropped my phone into a bucket of water, when i was filling up water balloons. I picked it up within seconds, and took off the case and put it in rice. I left it in the rice over night so about 11 hours.
I know I shouldn't be doing this but now, about every 1 or 2 hours I check my phone and it still hasn't worked, or have i had no sign at all of it working.
I think the cracks in the screen have made it worse because the water went into my phone.
My question is, i'm going to the apple store tomorrow, i have already booked an appointment, will they replace my phone if it wasn't me who dropped it, it was someone else?
If not, I have already checked the water damage sticker and it is red, but is there a way i can maybe convince the apple people to replace it for me for free? Or I could make up an excuse to cover up the red sticker and also get it replaced, like maybe saying the humidity or air levels have changed it or something i don't know. I will get in so much trouble by my dad if it stops working because they are really expensive, he doesn't know yet because he is away on business but back on wednesday, (today is thursday) so i have a bit less under a week. Is it possible?
