Despite rumours that the iPhone Xr is resistant to (splash) water, there is always a chance that your iPhone Xr can suffer water damage.
At The Phone Shopper you've come to the right place.
What does water damage do to your Apple iPhone Xr?
to a smartphone can be deceptive — at the moment your device comes into contact with water, nothing unusual may seem to happen.
However, the real problem with moisture and electronics soon becomes apparent,
as the moisture will start to cause corrosion, which can lead to serious issues with your iPhone Xr.
Problems can appear anywhere from a few hours to several months after the smartphone has been exposed to water.
Your iPhone Xr warranty will also be void, even if the issues only arise 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 Xr has water damage?
Turn off your iPhone Xr immediately.
Bring it to The Phone Shopper as soon as possible for a water damage cleaning.
Widely shared tip: Placing your smartphone in a bowl of rice — The Phone Shopper does not recommend this, as it is simply not a real solution.
Yes, it may absorb some moisture, but that says nothing about whether your device will actually work properly afterwards.
Using rice is therefore entirely at your own risk.
Normally The Phone Shopper would advise removing the battery immediately, however Apple does not use replaceable batteries in their devices.
This unfortunately means that is not an option, making a prompt professional cleaning the only real solution.
Cost of iPhone Xr water damage cleaning
The total cost for a water damage repair treatment is €25.
The process can take up to 24 hours: we first need to disassemble all components,
clean them manually, and then run an automated cleaning cycle for 12–20 hours.
The results are very good; however, it can occasionally happen that a short circuit has caused a component to stop working correctly.
In that case, we will first consult with you about any additional costs required to get your device fully functional again.
These situations are the exception rather than the rule, as the water damage treatment typically gets the smartphone working completely for no more than €25.
Water damage repair warranty
Unfortunately, The Phone Shopper is unable to provide a warranty on the final outcome after 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 offer a formal warranty on water-damaged phones.
