Camera condensation/water

My front camera (the one with the screen) and my back one but not so bad, has like some condensation and water in it, I dropped it in the lake for like 1 minute like at 6 ft, like 3 days ago and it’s still there, I have tried putting it in rice, is there anything else I can do or how to get it fixed? (What would the cost be?)

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Water got in your phone. iPhone is not waterproof. It is water resistant, but that is not a guarantee that if dropped in water, water can't get in. 1 minute is enough to destroy a phone, which usually happens over time. You can't do anything if your phone is water damaged. And your iPhone warranty doesn't cover liquid damage. You should schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and options. Be prepared to purchase an Out of Warranty replacement phone though. And that will cost you $399.

And make sure you back up your phone so you don't lose your data incase the phone stops working.
