Although rumours suggest that the iPhone 6 can withstand (splash) water, there is always a chance that your iPhone 6 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 6?
to a smartphone can be deceptive — at first, nothing may seem wrong after the device has come into contact with water. However, the downside of moisture and electronics soon becomes apparent, 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 easy to identify, as it typically appears in noticeable colours such as white, black, or mould-like green.
What should you do if your iPhone 6 suffers water damage?
Turn off your iPhone 6 immediately.
Bring it to The Phone Shopper as quickly 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 the device will actually work afterwards. Using rice is entirely at your own risk.
Normally, The Phone Shopper would advise removing the battery immediately. However, Apple does not use removable batteries in their devices, which unfortunately makes this impossible. A swift professional cleaning is therefore the only real solution.
Cost of iPhone 6 water damage cleaning
The total cost for a water damage repair treatment is €25. The process can take up to 24 hours: we first disassemble all components, clean them manually, and then put the device through an automated cleaning cycle that takes 12 to 20 hours. The results are very good; however, it is possible that certain short circuits have caused a component to stop functioning properly. In that case, we will first consult with you about any additional costs required to get the device fully operational again. These situations are the exception rather than the rule, as the water damage treatment usually ensures that the smartphone works completely for no more than the €25 treatment fee.
Warranty on water damage repair
Unfortunately, The Phone Shopper is unable to offer 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 provide a formal warranty on water-damaged phones.
