The first minutes matter

  1. Take it out of the liquid and turn it off if it is still on.
  2. Don’t plug it in: charging a wet iPhone can short-circuit the board. iPhone XS, XR and later models even show an alert when liquid is detected in the port.
  3. No heat: no hair dryer, radiator or oven.
  4. Nothing in the port: no cotton swab or paper towel.
  5. No rice: Apple advises against putting your iPhone in a bag of rice, because small particles can damage it.
  6. Bring it in as soon as you can: corrosion keeps working on the board even when the iPhone looks dry.

Is your iPhone water resistant?

Apple gives each model a resistance rating, but says this resistance is not permanent and decreases with normal wear, and that liquid damage isn’t covered by its warranty. An iPhone that has already been repaired or has a cracked screen is no longer sealed.

iPhone water damage: frequently asked questions

Should I put a wet iPhone in rice?

No. Apple advises against putting your iPhone in a bag of rice, because small particles can damage it. Turn it off, don’t charge it and bring it to a shop.

My wet iPhone still works: should I still have it checked?

Yes. Corrosion can keep working on the board for days, even when the phone seems to work. The diagnostic is free.

My iPhone is water resistant: why was it damaged?

According to Apple, water resistance is not permanent and decreases with wear. A cracked screen or an earlier repair also reduces it.

How much does it cost to repair an iPhone that fell in water?

The diagnostic is free. The price depends on what is damaged and is confirmed before the repair; if the iPhone isn’t fixed, you don’t pay for the repair.

Can my photos be recovered?

Often yes, even when the iPhone no longer turns on. We start with the free board diagnostic, then tell you what can be recovered.

Is the repair covered by a warranty?

Yes, the repair we carry out is covered by our lifetime warranty.

Can Face ID still work after water damage?

Sometimes yes: it depends on how far the corrosion has spread. Face ID is tested during the free diagnostic, so you know whether it works before you accept the firm quote.

Will my wet iPhone need a new screen or battery?

Not necessarily. The free diagnostic checks every part and we only replace what is damaged: screens from $39 and batteries from $29, plus taxes, with a firm quote before any work.

My iPhone shows a liquid-detected alert in the port: what should I do?

Unplug the cable and don’t charge while the alert is showing. Let the port air-dry, with no heat and nothing inserted into it. If the alert comes back or the iPhone was submerged, bring it in for a free diagnostic.

Do I need an appointment for an iPhone that fell in water?

No. Walk in at 757 Rue Beaubien E, 7 days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sooner is better, because corrosion keeps working on the board.

How long does a wet iPhone repair take?

It depends on what the diagnostic finds. Many common repairs (screen, battery) are often done in 10–30 minutes, depending on the model and parts in stock; cleaning or repairing the board can take longer, and we tell you when we give you the firm quote.
