I got home yesterday from a long ride with a friend, only to realize the bottom of my thick canvas bag was wet. I peeked inside and realized my arizona iced tea bottle had no cap on it and the drink pooled at the bottom of my purse, with my little iphone completely submerged in it. I was not sure how long it had been drowning for, but I immediately took it out and blow-dried it (I have done this before & it always worked) but my phone was just cutting in and out, screen would show up for a milli-second then disappear. My dad checked the water sensors and they've changed colors, cancelling out the hope that I can get a free replacement at the Apple Store today. I am ready & willing to pay how ever much I need to for a new phone (any iPhone user who has gone through something similar knows how awful it is to be without one). Despite all this banter, I was just curious if they would let me choose a white phone instead of the black one I currently own. I always wanted a white one but they were sold out when I first purchased mine last August.
Also- whether or not you can answer my main question, does anyone have anymore advice on how to revive my phone? I'm stuck home all day until my dad gets out of work to take me (his name is on the contract) and wouldn't mind trying some things. I talked to an Apple Care One provider yesterday and he suggested putting my phone in a bag of uncooked rice overnight. This did nothing but get grains stuck in the headphone jack (I'm assuming because it is sticky juice as opposed to easy-to-remove water). Thanks for all & any help.
