I was using my iphone X in the swimming pool and it only submerged in the water a little bit for like less than 10 secs , then it shut down suddenly. attempted to start it up it did not respond . Tried drying it for a while and starting it up , it showed a green screen for a very quick moment and sometimes a green horizontal line .After that there was no response . Anyone can help me please ?
Got a tip for us?

Water and electronics don't mix. Odds are very good that getting wet internals with power applied, something got fried... time for a replacement. Do you gave AC+?
Why? Sure it’s water resistant to a point but that’s tempting fate. Also with the amount of chlorine in swimming pools it wouldn’t do electrics any good.
If you’ve got AppleCare +, you can get it repaired for a small fee.
Lmao. I just dipped my iPhone X in a pool for like 5 seconds. I always was my phone. Just checked my water damage indicator. Still white
Personal observation...I find that the iPhone X, regardless of it's IP67 water resistant rating, is much less "resistant" than was the iPhone 7 at the same point in it's lifespan. The resistance will naturally degrade over time as the heat generated by the phone will soften up the adhesive and allow it flow somewhat, possibly creating a breach somewhere. Yet, when the iPhone 7 came out, I saw very few "water-damaged" phones. The iPhone X, considering it's lower market adoption, seems to have many more cases.
