IPhone 4 Fell in water

So my IPhone 4 fell on the sink with water on it and i got it out in like 2 seconds -_- , i forgot to turn it off right away so im thinking it got fried because of that.

Will my warranty cover this or will i need a new one...? i got it around 4 months ago

stick it in a bag of rice for a few days...it'll dry it out
if that still doesn't work, try taking it apart?

and no, apple will not cover this
they have these stickers inside your phone that turn pink when coming in contact with water (one where the charger goes in, one where your headphones go in, and another completely inside)[/quote]

I looked at it and I just see something white, and yeah it wont turn on, it was still on when i got it off for a good 5 minutes but like a idiot i was just glad it worked but forgot it could fry up, and im sure thats what just happened.

Doubt AT&T will do anything about it ill go check tomorrow though, time to save up for a new one. Well it fell because i was listening to music and i knocked it out making something to eat, my mom had just washed dishes so yeah..... but thanks for the people who helped.

Why do people always say warranty might cover it if you made the problem occur. Warranty covers malfunctions which occur by themselves not because you smashed it or dropped it in water.

Use it as a laser-death ray.
