What does water damage do to your Apple iPhone 6?
to a smartphone can be deceptive — right after your device has come into contact with water, everything may appear to be working fine.
However, the real danger of moisture and electronics soon becomes clear, as the moisture will start to cause corrosion, which can lead to serious problems with your iPhone 6.
These problems can appear anywhere from a few hours to several months after the smartphone was exposed to water. Your iPhone 6 warranty will also be void, even if the issues only surface months later. Corrosion on the circuit board is clearly visible, as it leaves behind striking discolouration in shades of white, black, or a mould-like green.
What should you do when your iPhone 6 suffers water damage?
Switch off your iPhone 6 immediately.
Bring it to The Phone Shopper as quickly as possible for a water damage cleaning treatment.
A popular tip you may have read: placing your smartphone in a bowl of rice — The Phone Shopper strongly advises against this. It is not a real solution. Yes, it may absorb some moisture, but that says nothing about whether your device will actually work afterwards. Trying the rice method is entirely at your own risk.
Normally The Phone Shopper would advise removing the battery immediately, but Apple does not use replaceable batteries in their devices. Unfortunately this means that option is not available, making a swift professional cleaning the only real solution.
Cost of iPhone 6 water damage cleaning
The total cost of a water damage repair treatment is €25. The process can take up to 24 hours: we first disassemble all components and clean them by hand, after which the device undergoes an automated cleaning cycle lasting 12 to 20 hours.
The results are excellent; however, it is possible that certain short circuits have caused a component to stop functioning properly. In that case, we will consult with you first regarding any additional costs required to get your device fully operational again. These situations are the exception rather than the rule — in most cases, the water damage treatment gets the smartphone working perfectly for no more than €25.
Warranty on water damage repairs
Unfortunately, The Phone Shopper is unable to offer a warranty on the outcome of a water damage repair. What we can say is that we have not received any complaints to date — however, on that basis alone we cannot provide a formal warranty on water-damaged phones.
