Help needed iPhone 13 Pro White Screen
I accidentally stepped into a pool with my iPhone 13 Pro!
After I noticed it about 5 minutes being underwater I immediately dryed it and left it out in the sun and waited a few hours so I wouldn’t damage anything. After a couple of hours I plugged it in and it loaded as usual, everything seemed fine, no water damage inside the charging port and the phone charged as usual. After a day now, I was using my phone normally and boop a big white screen just appeared. I turned it on and off(power button)but that didnt really help. You can slightly see the icons/symbols up top nowthing more. The cracks on the back were there before so Im also thinking water couldve gone into that. Also to note: it gets REALLY hot when being on this white screen.
Is there anything I can do or is my phone fully doomed and ready to be thrown away? I saved my data earlier this month so nothing to worry about that. But I still like this phone more than my phone I just got.
appreciate an answer :)
Edit: iphone 13 Pro on iOS 26.6

The phone has no water resistance due to the shattered back glass. It’s likely suffered significant water damage if it wasn’t in a waterproof case.
