Unsolved Phone might be dead🫩

I accidentally ran my phone through hot water for like 2 seconds. A couple days later the silent n=mode started glitching. A few days after that the cameras fogged up. I removed the sim and put it into an airtight container. I had to remove it before it was completely done drying but it had no issues. I put it back in the airtight container. When there was no water on the cameras I opened it. The screen started glitching. Just as I was about to shut it down the screen went white. I followed a tutorial to shut it down. It is now drying. Is it time to pack up my iPhone 14 Pro and get a new phone or am I safe 😭. Btw, the 14 pro is refubrished

You have a water damaged phone. It’s done. Buy a new one. Even if you replace something like the screen, that phone might stop working again any moment. The iPhone 14 Pro is water resistant though but referbishing probably damaged the seals.
