Why iPhone Water Damage Repair Is Necessary
So you let your device get wet? Water can potentially damage the iPhone, and the extent of the damage depends on various factors such as the duration of exposure, the type of water, and the specific model. iPhones are not completely waterproof, but many newer ones have water-resistant features.
Water damage can lead to various issues such as malfunctioning of the device, damage to the internal components, and, in some cases, permanent damage. Water damage may not always be immediately apparent, and problems may surface over time.

What to Do With a Wet iPhone
If you are not sure about the water resistance of your smartphone, take a few important steps. If your iPhone has been exposed to water, it’s essential to take immediate steps to minimize potential damage:
- Remove your iPhone from the water and turn it off immediately to prevent a short circuit.
- Don’t charge it. Wait before turning it on. Allow the iPhone to dry thoroughly before attempting to turn it back on – this may take at least 24 to 48 hours.
- Gently pat the iPhone dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Remove the SIM card.
- Do not use a hairdryer or heat source – excessive heat can cause further damage. Skip compressed air and rice as well.
- Bring it to the repair shop for diagnosis as soon as you can: the longer water stays inside, the more corrosion it leaves.
How iPhone Water Damage Repair Works
- Diagnostics: $99. We open the phone and check which parts the liquid reached.
- Quote: you get the price after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Your OK: we start only after you approve the amount. If we find another problem, we stop and quote it separately.
- Board-level liquid damage can go to our network’s Manhattan lab. Your phone stays with iFix New York the whole time.
The diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you approve it. Repairs after liquid damage carry no warranty, because corrosion can keep spreading after the repair.
AppleCare+ or a Local Repair Shop?
Apple’s standard limited warranty doesn’t cover liquid damage. AppleCare+ treats it as accidental damage and charges a service fee, so if you have AppleCare+, check your plan with Apple first. Without it, bring your iPhone to us for diagnostics and a quote.

— Jackson L., 5-star Google review
Can water permanently damage an iPhone?
Yes, water can potentially cause permanent damage to an iPhone. The consequences of water exposure may include various issues, such as:
- Functional failures: issues with buttons, touchscreens, and other hardware components.
- Internal component damage.
- Corrosion of the internal circuits and connectors over time impacts the overall performance and reliability.
- The battery may start to drain quickly or not hold a charge.
- Display issues such as discoloration, lines, or a completely non-functional screen.
- Audio and speaker problems.
Can an iPhone dry out on its own?
The extent of damage to a smartphone after it has fallen into water depends on many factors. For example, the iPhone model, its tightness, the amount of liquid that got inside, and whether there were other types of physical damage during the incident.
A newer iPhone with a high level of water resistance may survive a short splash. But the longer the water stays inside the case, the more likely it is to rust. Water can remain in hard-to-reach places and destroy the gadget from the inside. Your smartphone may turn on, but it will work unstably, and in the future, it will break down completely. Are you ready to take that risk?
How much does iPhone water damage repair cost?
A lot depends on the extent of the damage. Diagnostics cost $99 and are credited toward the repair if you approve it. After the inspection we quote the repair, and every further fix is quoted and approved separately. Liquid-damage repairs carry no warranty.
Can I dry my phone with a hair dryer?
Using a hair dryer to dry a wet phone is generally not recommended. While it may seem like a quick solution, the heat from a hair dryer can potentially cause more harm than good. Here’s why:
- Excessive heat. Hair dryers can produce intense heat, which may lead to further damage to the internal components of your phone. The heat can cause delicate circuits to malfunction or even melt.
- Pushing water deeper. The forced air from a hair dryer might push water deeper into the device, reaching areas that were initially unaffected. This can exacerbate the damage.
Does AppleCare+ cover iPhone water damage?
Apple’s standard warranty doesn’t. AppleCare+ covers liquid damage as accidental damage for a service fee, so check your plan with Apple first.
Is it worth repairing a water-damaged iPhone?
Diagnostics show what the liquid reached and what the repair costs, so you decide with the price in front of you. If you decide not to repair it, you pay only for the diagnostics.
