How Can You Tell if an iPhone Has Water Damage?

Posted by iPhone, 19th Dec 2013

Water damage is an incredibly common problem for smartphone owners – but if you’re unsure whether your phone is damaged from exposure to liquid, there’s an easy way to find out. The iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S have indicators in the headphone jack and in the bottom of the dock connector housing. The best way to check these is with a torch. The iPhone 5, 5S and 5C have water damage indicators on the inside of the SIM card slot. If your phone has been exposed to water without you knowing, the indicator will be red or pink, and in the majority of cases the damage won’t be covered by your warranty.
