The top 1/4 of my iPhone drowned, can I retrieve the memory?

So I had my iPhone in bed then when I put it down and went to bed, I accidentally put it in my glass of water. When I woke up and went to get it, it was upside down, 1/4 submerged in water. I was asleep for 10 hours (3:30 AM-1:30 PM) so it's dead. I've tried DrFone, it didn't work. But if I were to remove the memory card and put it in a new 5 or a newer model like a 5s, 5c or 6, would I get my data back?

Answer this question I have this problem too

No, there is no memory card inside the iPhone. There is only a flash memory chip and it stays with that phone forever. If you desolder it and move it to another phone, the data cannot be retrieved because each chip is individually encrypted by the phone's CPU. It is not possible to be decrypted by another phone.

What if I were to take the CPU and put it into a new phone?

In my opinion if you can pull that off, why don't you just repair the water damage on the original phone?
