iPhone water damage: what to do right now

1. Switch it off if it's still on.
2. Don't charge it — not even to check if it still works.
3. Take off the case and remove the SIM tray.
4. Wipe the outside dry and bring it to an outlet as soon as you can.

The technician opens the phone, checks where the liquid reached, and cleans the board before corrosion spreads. Only then can we see which parts actually failed — often the screen, charging port or a section of the board.

You get a quote for those parts before any paid work goes ahead. If the phone can't be saved, we'll tell you, and help with getting your data off if that's still possible.

We can't promise every water-damaged iPhone will work again. It depends on the type of liquid, how long it was wet, and whether it was switched on or charged afterwards. Warranty on liquid-damaged phones depends on what we end up repairing, and the technician will explain it before you agree.
