Apple iPhone 7 water damage repair. Despite rumours that the iPhone 7 is water-resistant, there is always a chance that your device suffers water damage. At The Phone Shopper, you've come to the right place.
Despite rumours that the iPhone 7 is resistant to (splash) water, there is always a chance that your iPhone 7 falls victim to water damage.
At The Phone Shopper, you've come to the right place.
What does water damage do to your Apple iPhone 7?
to a smartphone can be deceiving — right after your device has come into contact with water, everything may seem perfectly fine.
However, this is where the combination of moisture and electronics becomes a real problem:
the moisture will start to cause corrosion, which can ultimately lead to serious issues with your iPhone 7.
Problems can appear anywhere from a few hours to several months after the smartphone has been exposed to water.
Your iPhone 7 warranty will also be void, even if the issues only surface months later.
Corrosion on the circuit board is clearly visible, as it typically shows up in distinctive colours such as white, black, or mould-like green.
What should you do if your iPhone 7suffers water damage?
Turn off your iPhone 7 immediately.
Bring it to The Phone Shopper as soon as possible for a professional water damage cleaning.
A widely shared tip: placing your smartphone in a bowl of rice — The Phone Shopper strongly advises against this, as it is simply not a real solution.
Yes, it may absorb some moisture, but that tells you nothing about whether your device will actually work afterwards.
Trying the rice method is entirely at your own risk.
Under normal circumstances, The Phone Shopper would advise removing the battery immediately.
However, Apple has chosen not to include a removable battery in their devices, which unfortunately makes this impossible.
A swift professional cleaning is therefore the only real solution.
Cost of iPhone 7 water damage cleaning
The total cost of a water damage repair treatment is €25.
The process can take up to 24 hours: we first carefully disassemble all components, clean them by hand, and then run an automated cleaning cycle for 12 to 20 hours.
The results are excellent in most cases; however, it is possible that certain short circuits have caused a component to stop functioning correctly.
In that case, we will always consult with you first before proceeding with any additional repairs.
That said, such situations are the exception rather than the rule — our water damage treatment usually gets your smartphone fully up and running for no more than €25.
Warranty on water damage repair
Unfortunately, The Phone Shopper is unable to provide a warranty on the final outcome of a water damage repair.
What we can say is that we have not received any complaints to date — however, this alone is not a sufficient basis for us to offer a formal warranty on water-damaged devices.
