Does warranty cover water damage on iPhone 5?

I drop my iPhone in a lake still have warranty but I'm wonder if apple would be able to fix it or I have to go truth insurance ?

Apple is a manufactor, not an insurance or carrier. Apple's one year limited warranty covers hardware, not accidental damage. Look at it like this... say you purchase a new mustang car... you don't purchase insurance and you wreck the car into water... do you expect Ford, the maker of the car, to either fix your car or replace it? No, that would be silly... but people expect Apple to... not you... in general people do expect this and get angry when apple dont cover this. Apple is not insurance... insurance is bought through the carrier and that is where accidental damage is covered.

    does applecare+  cover water damage for iphone 4s?

    Yes it seems so as the description says for up to 2 "incidents." Each incident is $49. More info here:

    Im still sorta thinking about it myself. You'd be basically spending $150 for incident #1 and $50 for incident #2, but during the next 2 years only.

  • Does warranty cover water damage

    does warranty cover iphone 5 water damage?

    Costs are:
    iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5: $269
    iPhone 4s: $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, Original iPhone: $149
    These are for out-of-warranty replacements and I'm not 100% sure they'll apply in this situation. I believe they will, though.

  • My iphone got wet? does rice work? does the warranty cover water damage?

    i spilled a bit of water on it, and the screen is not responding.

    Power it off and put in a sealed plastic bag with uncooked rice and do not touch for at least 3 days.  There's a very small chance it will work again, but even if it does, it's likely to have new problems develop
    The standard iPhone warranty does not cover water damage, and in fact is completely voided by water exposure.  Unless you purchased AppleCare+ or other hazard insurance, the best you can hope for is an out-of-warranty replacement, price varying with country.

  • Does Ipod Warranty cover water damage?

    I got it about a month ago and I I forgot to take it out of my pocket and it went through the washer. Will the warranty cover that? I was also reading something about a single incident coverage within 90 days...what does that mean?

    I have an extended warranty that I am looking at now for my glasses which I purchased a sears optical. It states for any reason or fault, manufacture or user abuse they will be replaced at no questions asked.
    I am also looking at my extended warranty that I purchased for my computer at computers plus in my home time that states damage of anytype will be covered. user abuse to even lightning damage.
    My cross pen that says for anyreason it will be repaired or replaced no questions asked.
    My video camera with extended warranty. Also states for any reason. I was quoted by the owner of the camera store that this meant even if I ran over it with my car, he said yes. Two months later I dropped it into the water of a pool and it was replaced on the spot.
    My craftsman tools. I broke my screwdriver while using it as a prybar. Told the clerk and he said no problem they have a lifetime warranty.
    bet there are many others out there.
    Anybody else have any or heard of any???
    I am sure that there are many others.

  • Does my 1year warranty cover water damage?

    Dropped my phone in a cup of milk, only damaged battery life and sometimes sumiltaniously shuts off..

    If you are taking about support "pay-per-incident" then you can always use that service, but it will cost you.  It your iPhone was still under warranty before the water damage then you should be able to contact Apple at no charge. 

  • Does AppleCare cover water damage to the iPhone?

    I want to find out if AppleCare covers water damage?

    No, it does not.  If you have AppleCare Plus, you can get a replacement for a small fee.  Otherwise, you will need an out of warranty replacement.

  • I dropped my phone in water does apple cover water damage?

    Do some places like apple stores do the swap and trade and give you a new device?

    Nobody's warranty covers user damage. Apple will replace your drowned phone with an "out of warranty replacement", but will require money, happily only a fraction of the full retail price.

  • Does AppleCare+ cover water damage?

    I have AppleCare+ and I was wondering if it covers water damage. And if that is under the "Accidental Damage" and it will only cost $79 if it is water damaged.

    You would have to take it into the Apple Store and have them evaluate the damage to determine if it's eligible for a replacement under AppleCare+. If it is, you're right, the replacement would be $79.

  • HT3302 Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    Does the extended apple care cover water damage to the iphone?

    If you have AppleCare+, Apple will replace the iPhone for the "deductable", which in the US is $49. If you have the standard AppleCare plan, then accidental damage is not covered and you will have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty price for replacement. See:

  • Does the apple care  for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

    does the apple care + for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

    No.  Terms of the warranty call that "abuse".
    You can hope, and try:
    Turn it off, leave it off
    Put it in a pile of "dessicant packs" (shipping packs found in hard disk boxes), possibly in a plastic bag (NOT rice -- that has rice-dust which gets into the unit)
    Maybe try turning it on again in about 4-5 days
    But this is really a desperation move, and I would not do it myself (although others say they have tried it).
    Most likely you are paying for either a repair or a new unit.

  • Does apple care cover water damages

    Does it cover water damages

    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased an Apple product with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover your product after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
         If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • Does the warrantu cover water damage

    Does the care plan cover water damage?

    warrenty covers all issues with a device which was something it had when you bought it or something which was caused by the production of the device
    anything after that like dropping and watering and drilling a big hole in it is not a warrenty thing
    could be an insurance thing though
    these are general warrenty things not just apple ones

  • HT3302 water damage to iPhone 4S

    My iPhone has water damage to it and I know that apple do not cover water damage in their warranty but I've only had it a month and it cost me £499! It took me ages to save up for it and now it's ruined. what can I do?

    tonefox,
    Your response is about as helpful as a mechanic in a car accident repair body shop giving you a lecture on how to drive.  Thanks for that!
    everyone else,
    My wife's friend had her iPhone 4 helpfully placed into the toilet by her 14-month old boy.  Delightful.  She went into the Apple Store in Leicester and the replaced her phone with a working one (I think it was brand new, but might have been refurbished) for £119.  On Saturday, our 14-month old boy managed to do the same.  Oh dear, they get everywhere, these young explorers, just when you're least expecting them to (tonefox, you need to add 'don't have kids' to your simple rules...)
    We tried the sealed tupperware container with rice (and a dehumidifier box) in the airing cupboard trick.  No luck!  We're thinking about buying a stock of silica gel for next time we are terminally distracted and fail to follow the 'simple rules' (funny old thing, you just can't get hold of silica gel on a long bank holiday weekend!).
    We do have quite decent insurance with our bank account, but the trouble is, they have just upped the excess to £100 for iPhones, whilst still £50 for all other phones!  To my mind, it's worth the other £19 to not have to do all the phone calls and paperwork, and, most importantly, not to wait for a week or two to get it fixed and returned.
    I will be going to the nearest Apple Store to do the same as my wife's friend tomorrow.  I'm expecting to pay £119 for a replacement.  I am led to believe that this is now policy with Apple, but have not managed to find it anywhere yet.  I'll let you know how it goes.
