You are now able to call Apple Care at 1-800-275-2237 and have AC+ added as long as it is done within 30 days of purchase. They will send you a text message with a link, simply click on the link and wait. After this short Diagnostic test is done the AC Rep. will take your card info and add AC+ for you. I did this with my 5S and it was all done within 5 minutes. It was much easier than a 45 minute drive to my Apple store.

If you bought it at an Apple store you have 30 days to buy Applecare+. This is adds 2 years of warranty to the device and covers everything accidental or defect. Applecare+ costs $99 plus tax. They are not going to ask to inspect your device because you can buy it from the site AppleCare+ for iPhone - Apple Store (U.S.) After you buy it and register it to the device you can take the device in to an Apple store and you will have to pay an $80 deductible and they will give you a new phone. So altogether it will cost almost $200 but is definitely cheaper than buying a new iPhone depending on which model of iPhone you bought.
Yes if not in store they will want to see it... Again it's coverage so they have to make sure...
But if bought through carrier, when you give them the serial #, they can verify over the phone that it was just delivered to you... Then they will add it.. I did it with my iPhone 5 and there was no issue.

Have you done a visible look in the ports yourself to see if any of the ports are showing from white to where it changed color indicating water damage? You did not say that the phone is not working but just asked the question about water damage. Does it turn on and or work at all? Either or you might want to just pay a visit to your Apple store, See the genius Bar, If because 2 weeks old if it is a 5S and you plead your case in a good manner you might never know. Youi might walk outwith a new phone it being that young and if so.... Buy Applecare+
If there phone still powers on and works that is
Wow. I am really conflicted here. The forums have a strict "no piracy" policy, but even the "mods" and "ambassadors" are conspiring with a "guest" poster to commit insurance fraud. I feel bad for him/her that their new phone took a bath, but there was no insurance in place at the time of the dunk into the drink, yet 3 people with the "ambassador" title, one "moderator" and one "mod team leader" are all trying to help this guy beat the system.
Perhaps this is not the correct Apple centric forum for me, after all. What am I missing here?

Wrong! No one here "conspired with" a guest to commit insurance fraud. The guest asked what could he or she do, and he or she was given several options to which he or she could choose from. Nothing more.
Several of those options had to do with getting Apple to enroll a damaged device in their insurance program AFTER it was damaged. It sure seemed that way to me.
Adding AppleCare+ in the OPs situation is like trying to buy an auto policy after the hit and run...
