If you have an iPhone 7 or a newer model, you don't have to worry about a quick water bath. But if you z. For example, if an iPhone 5s or 6 has been dropped in water, you should follow our tips below. These models are not waterproof and therefore require special treatment if they have come into contact with water.

7 tips for iPhone water damage:

  • Turn your iPhone directly from , if it has not turned off by itself. Under no circumstances should you turn it on again to avoid the risk of a short circuit .
  • If there is still water on the surface of the device, dab it off with an absorbent cloth (handkerchief, kitchen roll, etc.).
  • Open the SIM slot . If there is liquid in the iPhone, it can leak out there. It also allows water inside the device to evaporate more easily.
  • Do not place the device on the heater or in the oven / microwave ! You shouldn't blow-dry it either.
  • Instead, place your iPhone in a bowl of rice (preferably from an unopened package so that the rice has not yet absorbed any ambient moisture) and leave it in it untouched for 3 days .
  • It can also help to place the device near a heater so that the water evaporates faster.
  • Try turning your iPhone back on after the 3 days . If it is not fully functional after this , you must have the water damage repaired by a certified dealer .

Note: Apple does not cover water damage under warranty. It can be determined by a sensor inside the device.
