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.

My iphone has water damage and does not work. can i get it replaces by my applecase protection plan?
If you have a 4S and AppleCare+, it reduces your cost for a replacement to $49. Otherwise, no.

HT3302 my iphone has water damage what will it cost me to repair it?
I have had a terrible week with sick babies and twisted ankels and to top it off my iphone was knocked off the couch into a cup of water:-( I know it has water damage and am just wondering what it will cost me to have it fixed or replaced?
I'm presuming you do not have AppleCare+, which provides accidental damage coverage, on the iPhone. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.<

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. -
My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?
There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician. Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification. Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them. Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne -

My Iphone has water damage and will not hold a charge.
About 5 weeks ago, I got my iPhone 4s wet. It was not completely submerged in water and had a phone cover on it at the time. I put it in a bag of rice for about 3 weeks and it is now fully functional. The buttons, sound, camera, touch screen, etc... it works the way it did before. The only way the phone will turn on is if I connect it to the charger, but it will only stay on for a few mins before a red line appears across the screen and fades out then will power itself up again. If i leave it connected to the charger it will keep doing this over and over again. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or have it repaired?
I would not have it repaired. I would take it to Apple and get an out-of-warranty replacement. I believe it's $199 for the 4S.

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 4 has water damage and a cracked screen but i have no warranty will apple still replace my phone at a cost?

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.

Can you restore the data from an iPhone 6 if it has water damage?
i want to know if i can get all the data that was on my iPhone 6 that has water damage.
No way to tell until you try. If the water damage was severe enough
to prevent the iPhone from starting up, then the answer is effectively no
(see next paragraph).
Companies specializing in data recovery may - emphasis on may - be
able to recover some data. Attempts are very very expensive and there are
no guarantees. Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc should assist in locating such companies.

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

<Personal Information Edited by Host>Sorry, it appears you were scammed. The phone you have was replaced, either under warranty, or as an out of warranty replacement, & should have been returned to Apple. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous retailers will fix these phones, & then re-sell them. Your only option is to go back to whoever you purchased the phone from & confront them

Is it possible that my iphone shows water damage, but never seen water?
I recently took my iphone to the apple store because it was freezing and stuff. i come to find out that my phone according to the guys from apple that my phone has water damage, my phone has never seen water. Please help.
For future reference, Apple does make quick judgment calls based on these indicators, but if you refuse their claim, they have to do a more thorough inspection - where they open up the phone and check internal water indicators. The ones in the charging and headphone ports can be triggered by a speck of rain or a humid bathroom, and cannot be used to disqualify you from warranty coverage.
If it has been water damaged, be honest with them - the internal indicators can disqualify warranty coverage, but more often than not if you're open and friendly with them, they'll help you out anyway. -
