Getting your phone or laptop wet is one of the worst things that can happen to it for a couple of reasons. First, water is one thing that can absolutely make your device unusable. Second, liquid damage is not covered by the Apple warranty or other third party warranties so it cannot be replaced for free.

Even though your iphone may be under warranty Apple will not replace it if there is water damage. In the iPhone there are 4 sensors, two of which you can see. The first visible sensor is the earpiece hole. The second one is located at the bottom middle separating the connector. If you shine a light on these then look at any of the two sensors, they will have turned pink if the iphone came into contact with water. If either of these sensors is pick apple will not replace the phone.

One of the most frequent water damages is the audio output no longer working which needs replacing. Sometimes the buttons get too wet and short out and may no longer function, so the home button, power button, mute button, and volume button may need replacement. Sometimes the battery may need replacing too. It can also affect the touch-screen which may be less responsive than normal, so a screen replacement may work, or it could be another more serious screen related problem.

Each iPhone has water exposure indicators internally and externally, which are located in various places on the phone such as in the headphone jack. When these get wet they turn a bright red. Another location of the watermark indicator is the charging port. The iPhone 5’s have a sensor located in the SIM card tray. A critical watermark internal indicator is on the logic board and the iPhone 4’s and 5’s both have 2 watermark sensors there. The iPhone 6 has only one internal watermark sensor on the tip of the logic board and an external watermark sensor in the SIM card port. The iPhone 6s Plus also may have one between the volume up and volume down button. Anytime there is water exposure on an iPhone, there is the possibility of corrosion and/or rust on any metal parts internally or externally.
