Wet iPhone - Best Drying Method

You might want to consider a lifeproof case for it. I have the Iphone X and have it in one, water resistant or not I am not taking any chances with mine.

 

Over the phone, without seeing the device, they wont guarantee anything, lower expectations just in case.

x2 on bag of rice.

Good Luck!

 

There’s a sticker inside the iPhone that will tell the dealer it’s been in water before, it changes color I believe. If they see that, all warranty coverage is out the window. 8, 8+, and X are ip67 rated, that’s 1 meter underwater for 30 min rated, including spray resistant and dust resistant. Nothing is technically “waterproof”, that’s why that sticker is there.

 

If they don’t get you a new phone or fix it, I replace both the screen and battery. Wife’s phone battery swoll as a result of dampness/sitting in a wet pocket. This ruined the screen. That was a few years ago on an iPhone 4 out of warranty. Worked well afterwards. Hope the rice bag works. Good luck.

 

Lol

 

Unfortunately learning the hard way..

 

You’re absolutely right, buttttt..why advertise a product as being resistant to a certain amount of water depth for a certain amount of time. Either way the phone needs fixing. Best case scenario would be they fix it and/or all it needs is a new digitizer which I would pay for.

 

That’s what the “senior support member” stated. She directed me to take it to the store and see what they say. I mentioned the wate indicator was actived but she was super understanding and I could tell she wanted to say they would take care of me but again, can’t guarantee anything over the phone. She gave me her direct contact info to contact her if any issues arise.

 

Where is this advertised?

 

https://www.tekdry.com/find-a-store/ get it there fast.

 

See that tiny little “3” next to it...follow that 3 to the fine print. What does it say?

 

Interesting. I’ve literally put my X in my yeti when it’s overheated from being in the sun.

 

On apples website. Damage not covered...

 

Just found one near me, thank you sir. I will try the Apple store first, depending on what they say I may then chose that option.

 

And I understand that, I know what it says. But do you get the consumer point of view? If your truck is rated to withstand towing 6000lbs, but then it says in laboratory conditions, and then you tow 4000lbs and your drivetrain blows wouldn’t you be a little irritated?

 

And mine was in my wet pocket for barely 5 minutes

 

I though iPhones were waterproof

My ex dropped her Android in the toilet. We removed the battery, put it in a bag of uncooked rice. It was fine after 2 days.

I dropped my Pixel XL in the ocean last year, no issues.

 

No because I do research before hand

 

Well, I hope you never encounter any issues like this in life because you seem to be a Mr. Know It All
