If your iPhone just experienced water damage, here is what to do, how to repair it or if all else fails, how to replace it at the Apple store.

If, after experiencing water damage, your iPhone doesn’t work right or doesn’t work at all, you can now have it replaced at the Apple store. In the past, they wouldn’t replace your iPhone because water damage voids the warranty automatically. This means that your 1 or 2 year warranty is worthless if your iPhone has water damage. There are 2 sensors on your iPhone that you can see and 4 that you can’t get to while opening.

The first one is in the small round hole on top left of the iPhone, and the other one is in the middle of the bottom that separates the connectors. With a light, look at this area and if the sensor is pink it means that water has been in contact with this area. As a result of this pink sensor, Apple will not honor your warranty.

However, Apple has changed its policy. If your iPhone has been water damaged, Apple will replace it for a refurbished phone at a discount price. The refurbished iPhone and warranty for 90 days is much less expensive than the full price of the iPhone and the original warranty. In addition remember that if you purchase your iPhone with a credit card that has protection, you might be able to get your water damaged iPhone replaced for free or at least get some of your money back. You shouldn’t miss out on these options because you will have to pay to replace your water damaged iPhone.

If the sensors in your iPhone are pink and it isn’t working even after you’ve attempted to dry it out, then you might have to consider sending it to the repair shop. There are numerous repair shops that can repair your water damaged iPhone. First, they will evaluate the damage for a small fee. Next, they will tell you how much they think it will cost to get repaired. Then you will have to decide if you want to purchase a new iPhone or have them to repair it. You need to have them look at your iPhone just in case they can repair it and then you won’t have to purchase a new iPhone, particularly if you have just purchased one. You should check out iPhone repair services because they may help you to save some money.
