iPhone with water damage: what to do right away (and what not to do)

Reacting quickly and correctly often makes the difference. Here's what you're best off doing right away:

• Turn off your iPhone — switch off the device immediately to prevent a short circuit. If it's already off, don't try to turn it back on.
• Don't charge it — don't connect your iPhone to a charger: applying power to a wet device can make the damage worse.
• Remove the SIM card, the case and accessories.
• Pat it dry carefully — pat the outside dry with a soft, absorbent cloth.
• Have it checked as soon as possible — bring your iPhone to our store in Antwerp; the sooner we intervene, the greater the chance of repair.

What you're better off not doing:

• Don't put your iPhone in rice — rice doesn't work and can leave dust and particles in the ports, which actually speeds up corrosion.
• Don't use a hairdryer or heat source — a hairdryer, heater or microwave damages the internal parts through heat.
• Don't shake the device — this spreads the liquid further inside. If there's water in the charging port, hold the iPhone upright so it can drain out.
• Don't open the device yourself — this can cause more damage.

Our repair process for iPhone water damage in Antwerp

When you bring your iPhone with water damage to us, the device goes through a specialized repair process:

1. Disassembly and diagnosis — we carefully open your iPhone and thoroughly inspect the internal parts for moisture and corrosion, and determine the extent of the damage.
2. Specialist cleaning — the logic board and the affected parts are professionally cleaned to remove corrosion and mineral residue. This is the crucial step for water damage.
3. Drying — after cleaning, all parts are carefully dried.
4. Inspection and replacement — we test every part, such as the screen, the battery and the charging port, and replace what cannot be repaired with new, high-quality components.
5. Assembly and testing — your iPhone is put back together and thoroughly tested.

The cost and repair time depend on the severity of the damage. That's why we give you a transparent update after the initial diagnosis before proceeding.

iPhone water damage repair: price per model

What does an iPhone water damage repair cost in Antwerp? With moisture damage, the final price depends on the damage, but the table shows the indicative price, repair time and warranty per model. Compare your model and book your appointment right away. All prices include VAT and labor costs.

The full overview per model is available at iPhone water damage repair. Sometimes only the screen or the glass is affected — in that case also check iPhone screen replacement.

IP rating: isn't my iPhone waterproof?

Newer iPhones are considerably more water-resistant (indicated by an IP rating such as IP67 or IP68), but they are not fully waterproof. Those ratings apply to fresh water under specific test conditions, and resistance decreases as the device gets older or has been damaged before, for example by a crack in the screen. So don't rely blindly on water resistance and avoid contact with liquids as much as possible: keep your iPhone away from pools, baths and the sea, don't use it with wet hands in the rain, and be careful with drinks near your device.

Frequently asked questions

My iPhone fell in water — what do I do now?

Turn off your iPhone immediately, don't charge it and remove the SIM card and case. Pat the outside dry with a soft cloth and don't put your iPhone in rice — that doesn't work and can actually speed up corrosion. Have the device checked professionally as soon as possible: the sooner we treat the liquid damage, the greater the chance of repair.

Does rice help against water damage to my iPhone?

No. The rice myth is persistent, but rice doesn't remove the moisture that's under and between the internal parts, and it can leave dust and particles in the ports. Meanwhile, the corrosion keeps spreading. Only thorough professional cleaning truly removes the moisture and mineral residue.

What does an iPhone water damage repair cost in Antwerp?

With moisture damage, the price depends on the severity of the damage. That's why we give an honest price indication after the initial diagnosis before proceeding, so you know where you stand. The indicative price per model and the warranty conditions are shown in the price table on this page and at iPhone water damage repair.

My iPhone no longer turns on after contact with water. Can that be repaired?

An iPhone that no longer starts up or shows a black screen after water damage can in many cases still be saved, especially if you react quickly and don't try to turn the device back on. Corrosion on the logic board or an affected battery or charging port is often the underlying cause. Bring the device in for a diagnosis; we'll check what still works and what needs to be repaired or replaced.
