Have you
dropped your iPhone in water? Is it suffering from water damage? Are you
searching for its solution? Then, here you are in the right place. Probably it
is quite sad to hear that your iPhone gets damaged or dropped into water.
Here we have
some suggestions for you to recover your iPhone for its better working. First
of all remove your iPhone from water carefully and turn it off. Because checking out either it is properly working or
not may cause more damage.
Steps to consider when you
dropped your iPhone in water
Don’t be too late to remove out your iPhone from water when
you dropped it in water. Just follow these simple steps to avoid critical water
damage situations.
External
Drying
Don’t be sad if you dropped your iPhone in water. Just get up
and readily dry out the external core of your iPhone with a cotton pad or a
tissue paper. Don’t apply much pressure on the screen, it may damage the screen
of your iPhone.
Internal
Drying:
Firstly, to dry the interior of your iPhone place your phone
in sunlight, but still, avoid direct
contact of your iPhone with sunlight, because it may affect the functionality of
your Apple device.
Secondly, if you are not satisfied with the first method of
internal drying, use some drying agents instead. There are different drying
agents like Silica gel, uncooked rice,
and oatmeal.
These drying agents will absorb moisture from your iPhone.
No Plugin:
Don’t try to plug in your iPhone after water damage, it may
cause electric shock. If you already plug it in remove it out carefully.
Remove SIM Card:
Although your phone seems to be dry out now. But still, there
are chances that water entrapped in the interior of your phone. Remove the SIM
card from your iPhone and dry it out carefully.
Let it keep outside of your phone at some safe place to
provide vent to your iPhone for internal drying.
How
do I know my iPhone is dry?
To check it out either your iPhone is dried or not, just turn
it on. Now check out its function including voice check, camera, and other
functionalities.
If all the functions are working properly then it’s good,
otherwise, go to the technician for proper repair or replacement.
Is
my iPhone waterproof?
There are no waterproof iPhones but are water-resistant.
All the new iPhones have a water resistance rating of at
least IP68. That means they can survive at a depth of 4 meters or about 12 feet
for 30 minutes in water.
But the water-resistant element of your iPhone vanishes over
time. That means a three or four-year-old iPhone is not water-resistant any
more.
And now if unfortunately, you dropped your iPhone in water,
water minerals can harm or damage your iPhone.
Should
I repair my I phone or Buy a New One?
It all depends upon the condition of your iPhone after water
damage. Sometimes repairing a single part will cost almost equivalent to buy a
new iPhone, in that situation it would be better to buy a new one and sold out
the parts of the older phone as well.
On the other hand, if repairing your phone cost little then
repairing the phone is a better idea.
Conclusion:
iPhone water damage problems are quite exasperated
and not easy to solve. We recommend you if you go through such a problem try
out the solutions mentioned above.
But at the same time, we recommend you to visit your
technician as well.
