1 Dropped Phone in Water
Dropped the top of the phone (the half with the cameras) into a small glass of water for about three seconds, then fished it out. Panicked for at least five minutes, so I assume some valuable time was wasted. When I got it out, there were vertical straight lines across the screen, with the appearance of a glitch. After two minutes, it went back to normal with a small stain of water behind the screen. Afterwards, the phone started vibrating constantly and the lines reappeared, but the screen was responsive. Fast forward about 20 minutes, where I realise now i should have turned the phone off immediately, but I hadn't because I was trying to get the SIM card out first without any success, as it would not eject. I gave up, left it in, and surrounded the phone after shutting it off in rice (which may do nothing, as everyone says, but I'm desperate and I won't open up my phone). I'll be waiting about half a week or so until I start it up again, without charging the phone while I am waiting.
So, the question is: will the phone be likely to work again? The screen was working for about 30 minutes, though it was vibrating constantly until I shut off the phone. It was only in water for seconds, was at half charge and will not be charged while waiting, and the SIM card is still in. Getting very nervous. have thousands of photos that have not been backed up yet due to a lack of iCloud storage, and if I lose them, I'd be very upset.

Also, before the "the phone in rice doesn't work" I know it likely won't, but I'm giving it a shot anyway. I don't have the resources to open it up and clean it.

You'd better sync your phone with iTunes or iCloud, in case it's totally broken and you can't get access to your iPhone data.

I can't. To enter my icloud i have a verification system that sends a code to my phone. Plus, I have no iCloud storage left.

Hello Wen. iCloud dual-verification lets you send a code to either your Apple device, or as a text message to whatever phone number they have for you. You could insert your SIM into any phone compatible with your network and receive that text.
