iPhone 12 Water Damage Repair

Few feelings are worse than watching your beloved iPhone 12 slowly drop into a pool, toilet, or bathtub. Panicked, you’ve fished your device out of the water and are now in search of any solution to save your device. CPR is here to guide you through what to do and what not to do if you have iPhone 12 water damage.

Is My Water Damaged iPhone 12 a Goner?

Thanks to the IP68 rating on all iPhone 12 models, an accidental drop in the pool or a ride in the washing machine doesn’t necessarily mean your phone is a goner. To help, CPR has put together some of the most effective iPhone 12 liquid damage tips in an effort to keep your phone performing optimally for years to come.

How to Troubleshoot a Water Damaged iPhone 12

While iPhone 12 devices are able to withstand up to 6 meters of water for 30 minutes when new, regular wear and tear can impact the waterproofing of these phones. If you think your iPhone may be suffering from liquid damage, carefully follow these steps before bringing your device in for a repair.

Steps to take if your iPhone 12 has been exposed to water:

• Immediately turn off your iPhone 12.
• Remove your iPhone 12 case and any other accessories attached to your device.
• Use a microfiber cloth to promptly dry your device.
• Prop your iPhone 12 up with ports facing downward.
• Very carefully remove your SIM card from the device. Dry with a microfiber cloth if necessary.
• Wait 24 hours before attempting to turn the device on again.

Avoid the following if your Apple iPhone has suffered water damage:

• Don’t press any buttons for at least 24 hours.
• Do not try the rice trick! Uncooked rice can often push debris and particles into the charging port of your device.
• Don’t try using a hairdryer or heat to dry the liquid.
