This happened to my middle daughter, a bucket of clean water. She took he phone out super quick and turned it off. Turned it on later (bad idea) and it didnt work
I brought it home, used an iPhone repair kit to remove the rear case, disconnected the battery and left it to dry out fully. It looked ok though. She works at a hospital so the water was just water. A few days later, I reconnected the battery and its fine, been fine for maybe 8 months now
The key is that the water contains no other chemicals that may be left behind and cause corrosion. And that the phone is removed very quickly, as the buttons, earphone jack and power jack aren't clear holes into the phone, it would take a little time to get the insides soaked.
Good luck, you might well be surprised

Subject: [iPad] advice re; iphone OT
Anyone ever drop their iphone in water? What did you do? Better to have fixed (and where?) or just get new phone. Are current apps salvageable? Any advice welcome and may contact me off list so as not to clutter. Thanks
Lee
