                     Here's Your Guide to iPhone Water Damage  
Recovery
Often, many people have iPhones as the most expensive thing when traveling. And no one  
intends to drop their iPhone in the water when swimming in the pool or enjoying other water  
activities. However, sometimes accidents happen.
The best thing is that Apple has designed the iPhone to resist significant levels of splash and  
water. So, a quick dunk in the water or brief exposure to rain might not cause any harm. If your  
iPhone gets wet, take it to a Mac repair San Diego repair specialist or follow the  above-
discussed advice.
This article discusses a few tips to dry your iPhone in the event of water damage.
How Waterproof is Your iPhone?
First, you should understand what to worry about, which narrows down to your iPhone's rating  
and age. You should know that all iPhones have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating grading the  
resistance of a device against the intrusion of dust and liquids.
The latest iPhone models are rated at IP68; the older models are rated 7, 8, and XR, with the  
second-generation SE models rated at IP67. The first digit of the IP rating specifies your iPhone's
resistance against dust, and the second digit specifies your iPhone's resistance against water. A  
rating of 6 for the first digit indicates the iPhone is dust-tight, and the second digit indicates:
7means your iPhone is protected when immersed temporarily in the water under standardized  
time and pressure conditions.
8means your iPhone is protected when continuously immersed in the water under  standardized 
time and pressure conditions.
Apple is working on improving the liquid resistance of iPhones. The iPhone 11, XS, and XS Max 
 in the computer sales San Diego store can withstand immersion at a maximum depth of 2  
meters for at most 30 minutes. On the other hand, the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max can  
withstand immersion at a maximum depth of 4 meters. Moreover, each newer model can  
withstand the increased pressure of up to 6 meters. Simply put, all these iPhone models can  
survive a brief dip in the water.
However, you should know that the iPhone's water resistance is not permanent and can be  
compromised depending on tight seals and gaskets weakened by age, disassembly, exposure to  
chemicals, drops, or extreme temperatures.
Dealing with Splashes, Spills, and Submersion
When your iPhone gets wet, a professional Mac repair in San Diego technician suggests  
following these dos and don'ts:
Dos
● Turn off your iPhone immediately with the power slider appearing when holding the side 
 button and either the volume or the side button.
● Consider rinsing it under tap water if you dropped it in a muddy puddle, a toilet, or the 
 ocean.
● Dry the iPhone's exterior with a soft cloth.
● Tap it gently against your hand with a lightning port and speaker facing down to remove  
excess liquid.
● Open the SIM tray and leave your iPhone in a dry place with airflow.
● Leave your iPhone turned off and let it dry for 5 to 24 hours.
Don'ts
● Don't dry your iPhone with a hair dryer, heat source, or compressed air.
● Don't insert a cotton swab or tissue into a SIM tray or lightning connector.
● Don't connect a charging cable until your iPhone is completely dry.
Concluding Words
When considering buying an iPhone, always consider purchasing it from a reputed computer  
sales San Diego store. Such stores provide high-quality, original iPhones, offering excellent  
resistance against liquid splashes, spills, and submersion. However, if, despite following these  
tips, your iPhone is not dry, you can take it to a technician skilled in repairing Apple products.  
Such technicians can help fix your iPhone from water damage and even replace the damaged or  
malfunctioned parts.
