My iphone has water damage? - 1

I dropped my iphone 4 in the sink and it was literally in there for two seconds but none of the speakers work. The phone still works perfectly but i can't even talk on the phone because i can't hear anything. I know the apple insurance that i have doesn't cover water damage but how much would it cost me to have it fixed? Will they give me a whole new phone or just fix it?

You can try to put it in a bowl of white rice overnight, completely covering it. My dads ipod went through the washer and he did this and his ipod works perfect now. No promise's it will work, but you can try. The longer you leave it in the rice the better. My dad left his for like, 2 days.

First I would try putting your phone into a bag with rice. The rice will help absorb the moisture and hopefully save the phone. If it happened awhile ago, it may be too late for that.

Here is a link that talks about liquid damage to iphones:

If the rice doesn't work, I would call apple support to see if they can fix your phone because fixing it may be cheaper than replacing it. They would probably just fix it, unless it's more expensive than a new phone or they can't. Then you would have to pay to replace the phone.

  • My iPhone 4s has recently recovered from water damage, will i experience some issues? My iPhone 4s was dropped in a pool last weekend, two days after it recovered and was working like normal. Today i started experiencing some problems with the speakers, they tend to work and then not work and then work again. I was wondering what will be some consequences or other issues i might experience and how to solve my speaker problem.
  • My iPhone 4S has got water damage. It no longer powers on throught the USB cable. What do I do? The phone get stuck in an apple logo loop when connected via USB cable. However when it is connected to the speaker dock it powers on. I have lost cellular, Wi-Fi and bluetooth and really need to get my pictures off it. How can I get the phone to power on via USB cable? I need those pics!
  • My iphone 4 has water damage I have an iPhone 4 that has been water damaged. I do not have apple care or apple insurance. I have assurion insurance, but I had a 60 day claim notice. Unfortunately, the claim expired so they can't help me. If i take my phone to the apple store, will they replace it for the out of warranty cost of $149?
  • My iphone 4 has water damage and won't turn on? My water bottle leaked and even though only a few drops of water got on my phone, it won't turn on. I'm immersing it in rice right now, but in case that doesn't work can I take it to the Genius bar? The two external water damage indicators are not red and my phone looks normal. Would they be able to tell anyway? Are there any other remedies other than rice I can use?
