What to do when my iPhone has water damage?
I have an iPhone 4S. Today on my way to the gym, my water bottle wasn't closed all the way and it spilled into my bag. The phone was probably in the water for about a minute before I realized what had happened. I took off the case and dried off the surface with my shirt. I took it to the gym and it was working alright but the sound didn't work. None of my music plays even with the headphones in. Sound on any apps is gone, like on Netflix or Pandora. But when someone calls me, the phone rings and I can hear them just fine on the other end. After the gym, when I got home I put the phone in a bag of rice and it's been in there by the window for about 3 hours now. I tried to turn it off, but every time I turn it off, it comes back on by itself. I put it on charge in the bag so it wouldn't die.
Please help, this has never happened to me before. I'm not due for an upgrade for another 10 months and I can't afford buying a new phone.
Added (1). @lauren - Oh, I didn't realize that. Does anyone know how to take apart the phone?
If you take it to the apple store they will replace it for $140. Also, you're supposed to take the phone apart and put the separate pieces into the rice, not just put the whole thing in. The idea is for the rice to absorb the moisture, the moisture that wasn't wiped off is inside, where the rice needs to be able to get to.
If water damage is already done, it won't matter if you put it in brown rice, minute rice, or white rice.
Apple's iPhone 4S has been regarded as the best smartphone ever and the manner in which it has been lapped up by people around the world is reflective of the fact.

The phone still works perfectly but i can't even talk on the phone because i can't hear anything. I know the apple insurance that i have doesn't cover water damage but how much would it cost me to have it fixed? Will they give me a whole new phone or just fix it?
