Water damaged phone

I had an accident where I put my phone to the washing machine for around 10 minutes. By mistake I turned it on when it was still wet and now it won't turn on. Is there any chance of recovering pictures without icloud? That's all I need.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

If it is dried out for a few days or so and doesn't work, and absent spending on a repair and maybe that repair then works or maybe the repair doesn't, nope.


Backups are about the only way to mark data as being valuable.


Backups have to happen before the dunk/drop/theft/loss, too.
