Despite rumours that the iPhone Xs is resistant to (splash) water, there is always a chance that the iPhone Xs can still suffer water damage.
At The Phone Shopper, you've come to the right place.
What does water damage do to your Apple iPhone Xs?
to a smartphone can be deceptive — at the moment your device comes into contact with water, nothing may seem out of the ordinary.
However, the downside of moisture and electronics soon becomes apparent,
as the moisture will start to corrode internal components, which can lead to serious problems with your iPhone Xs.
These problems can appear anywhere from a few hours to several months after the smartphone has been exposed to water.
Your iPhone Xs 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 striking colours such as white, black or mould-like green.
What should you do if your iPhone Xs has water damage?
Turn off your iPhone XS immediately.
Bring it to The Phone Shopper as quickly as possible for a professional water damage cleaning.
A popular tip you may have read: placing your smartphone in a bowl of rice — The Phone Shopper strongly advises against this, as it is simply not a solution.
Yes, it may absorb some moisture, but that says nothing about whether your device will actually work afterwards.
Using rice is therefore entirely at your own risk.
Under normal circumstances The Phone Shopper would advise removing the battery immediately,
however Apple does not use removable batteries in their devices.
Unfortunately this means that option is not available, making a swift professional cleaning the only real solution.
Cost of iPhone Xs 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 lasting 12–20 hours.
The results are excellent; however, it is possible that certain short circuits may have caused a component to stop functioning properly.
In that case, we will always consult with you first before any additional costs are incurred to get your device fully working again.
These situations are the exception rather than the rule, as the water damage treatment typically restores the smartphone to full working order for no more than the initial €25.
Warranty on water damage repair
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 are not in a position to provide a formal warranty on water-damaged devices.
