And each fall feels even worse when water is involved. We\u2019re talking about your iPhones, of course <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(what did you think!)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But if you own an iPhone, or any phone for that matter, it will occasionally incur some form of water damage no matter how much you fight it. In case your device takes the dreaded plunge, here are a few steps you can take to save your water-damaged iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What not to do<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before we tell you what to do, it\u2019s absolutely critical that you know <\/span><b><i>what not to do.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Never turn on a wet phone.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It\u2019s natural to want to turn on your phone ASAP to assess the damage, but we\u2019d strongly advise against it. Doing so can intensify the water damage or even cause short circuiting as the parts heat up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Don\u2019t plug it in a charging port. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may think plugging it in the charging port is the right way to get it to turn on, but that\u2019s honestly the worst thing you can do.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Don\u2019t use a hair dryer to dry it out. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hot air is going to worsen the damage by spreading the moisture through the device\u2019s internal parts. And no rice either, please!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to fix a water damaged iPhone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So <\/span><b><i>what should you do<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to fix it? Here are a few tips.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Remove the case and turn the iPhone off immediately <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">so there\u2019s no short circuiting or extra damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Remove the sim card or tray <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and wipe them with a clean, dry cloth if they\u2019re trapping moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Wipe your iPhone with a dry cloth. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a cotton swab to gently wipe out any water from the charging port or headphone jack (if you\u2019re using one of the older models).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Let your phone air dry for a few hours before turning it on. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the most critical step that will determine your water-damaged iPhone\u2019s life. Make sure you dry it out completely before turning it on.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, even if you take all the right steps, sometimes your water-damaged iPhone is too far gone to be saved this way. When that happens, we\u2019d advise you to take it to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/majestik.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">authorized technician and repair service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> like Majestik where our team of experts can fix most of your iPhone and Android issues in no time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love them.
