Does anyone know if there is a way to wipe an iPhone that has water damage and won't turn on? Thanks.

Apple usually requires the device to be functional to wipe it directly.

Thanks Gavin. I did the remote erase and it says it will be done when the phone has an Internet connection. If I sell it though could someone still access my info before connecting it to the web?

Yes they could if they can access it. Can't u connect it to the web yourself and then it will definitely be erased?

Or take it to Apple Store for advice as a last resort :)

Will this method whip out all Apple Pay info? It's such a hassle to have to call the financial institutions to have them reenabled.

You shouldn't reset all content and settings when jailbroken. You can only reset phone settings when jailbroken.
