I accidentally dropped my iPhone 11 in the pool yesterday, and it was underwater for about 1.5 seconds. I quickly retrieved it and noticed some vertical lines on the screen, so I turned it off. After waiting for around 10 minutes, I powered it back on and it seemed okay for about 2 minutes, but then the screen went black. I powered it off again and left it alone for 24 hours. Now, it's working again, but it gets really hot after just 2 minutes of use. Any advice on what I should do next?

Yeah, lines on the screen are a clear sign that water got inside and affected the display. The overheating is also concerning. It’s smart to get it looked at by professionals, just to be safe. Also, make sure you back up your data; just in case it gets worse.
When you take it to a repair shop, ask for a quote upfront to avoid getting scammed. Prices can vary based on the shop, but you should expect to pay somewhere between $50 to $150 for cleaning and repairs.
It sounds like the water may have damaged the internal components, especially since you mentioned lines on the screen. You should definitely take it to a repair shop; they'll need to disassemble it and clean it with isopropanol to prevent further damage from corrosion. I wouldn't wait too long because pool water can cause issues over time.
