Spilling water on their iPhone^® is one of people’s biggest fears, and with the many rumors on how to handle the situation, it can be difficult to know how to react. By properly addressing the issue, you’ll minimize the damage and increase your chances of getting the device up and running again with the help of iPhone repair professionals. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to follow when dealing with potential water damage.

Do:

Remove water immediately.

If a spill occurs, immediately remove all of the water. Carefully wipe every surface of your iPhone until it’s completely dry, especially focusing on ports and buttons where water might seep in. You’ll also want to shake it out so that any water that has entered will come out.

Take it to an iPhone repair professional.

An iPhone repair professional is the only guaranteed authority you should trust following potential water damage. Most technicians will have extensive experience working with Apple^® devices and know how to properly diagnose the situation and address any damage or repairs that need to be made.

Don’t:

Keep it on.

Water and electronics don’t mix, so immediately turn your iPhone off following a spill. You’ll also want to avoid plugging it in. This will ensure any water inside doesn’t cause problems with the electronics and ruin the device.

Take it apart.

No matter how many tutorials you watch or how confident you feel, never take the device apart yourself or let someone other than an iPhone repair professional remove parts. You might only worsen the situation, and if you aren’t familiar with the device’s complex insides, you’ll likely damage crucial pieces.
