How do i determine if my phone has water damage?

I suspect my phone had water spilled on it during a plane ride.  Is there a way to check the phone for this?

Only if it penetrated the phone enough to set off the water damage litmus paper inside the phone. That means you need to take it in for service. You don't want to take it apart and risk voiding the warranty.

  • HT4993 How do I know if my Iphone has water damage?

    I dropped my iphone in the toilet tonight but it seems to be fine do I just keep using it?

    If it were my iPhone, I'd leave it in the rice for a few days. If it fails anyway, at least you would know you took all reasonable precautions to dry it out.
    It's probably OK but ask yourself how you'd feel if it were to stop working right now - you'd wish you dried it out a bit longer, right?

  • My iPhone has water damage

    My phone has water damage how do I go about fixing it

    As soon as a phone is exposed to water-it needs to be turned off. It should be placed in a bag of rice or kitty litter for a week to ten days.
    If it does not power on after that or shows signs of damage-it has to be written off. The water has caused damage, shorting out components.

  • How do I find out what phone has been buying itunes

    How do I find out what phone has been buying itunes

    I think you're asking which iPhone (one of many using the same Apple ID) has made which specific purchases from the iTunes Store.
    The answer is you cannot do that.
    Presumably one Apple ID serves one person.  All purchases made by that Apple ID are agglomerated (combined) into one purchase record.

  • How to tell if your mac has water damage?

    I was using a dust remover when I noticed that some ice like substance started to come out. I was spraying the USB and Charging port in a high angle so I don't think anything went in the mac, also I saw most of it went on my sleeve.  Just as a precaution, how will I know if it has water damage?

    spraying the USB port with what ?
    define "DUST REMOVER"
    surely you DONT mean that spray stuff used on furniture,  ...... do you?
    One assumes you mean a can of compressed air.
    You likely just flushed out some dust bunnies, I assume you mean a snow of dust.

    If my Iphone 4 has water damage, is it eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service? And if it is, how do I proceed?

    I know I can get it replaced, I want to know if I can get it fixed. Or at the very least have my memory backed up. I want the pictures that are on my phone

  • If my iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare?

    If my Iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare since i need the screen replaced?

    Neither of those is covered by the standard one-year warranty.
    If you purchased AppleCare+, you may be able to get it replaced for $79+ tax; otherwise, you will most likely be paying $269+ tax to replace the phone.

  • My iphone has water damage . what can i do ?

    my iphone 5s has water damage from a pool and my phone is connected with tmobile i would ike to kno what would be my best option because i dont have any money to replace my phone

    There is only one trick people sometimes succeed with, place the iPhone in a zip-lock bag with uncooked rice and close the bag and let it sit for at least a week to ten days.  If it starts up, fine...but after immersion in a pool it is not likely to do so.
    Out of warranty replacement of an iPhone 5s is $269 in the US.

    If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.
