Facts: Normal Symptoms of a Water-damaged iPhone Water damage of an iPhone can be caused by water and other liquids. Sadly and unfortunately, liquid damage is not covered by Apple's warranty, which means that you have to be responsible for it on your own. If you're not sure whether your iPhone is water-damaged or not, there are some common things you can check for on your iPhone. 1. Buttons become less neat. Press and hold down "Power", "Home", "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" buttons and check out whether they're working well. In some cases, users report that they are unable to turn on or off their iPhone. 2. Hardware problems arise. Check for speaker, microphone and camera, see whether they're working as usual. Moreover, if your iPhone is inclined to be overheated, it may be caused by some hardware issues. www.ifonetips.com
3. Screen tends to be less responsive or over-reactive. When using the iPhone, you may find it hard to open an app or file. Swiping around is either not working sometimes. Or, apps/files might keep opening or swinging as well as apps open without tapping. 3. You might be prompted by iPhone via warning messages like "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone" or "Charging is not supported with this accessory." etc. Method 1: Restore Contents from iPhone without Backups There are two types of data available to directly restore from iOS device within 30 days, which respectively are "Photos" and "Notes". If you've lost photos or notes on your iPhone, you can go to "Recently Deleted" album/folders to check out whether they're there. If yes, you can select them and tap "Recover". However, for other contents, iPhone doesn't support to restore without backups, so you should try a powerful software to do so. Here let's try iPhone Data Recovery, which performs an advanced scanning on iOS devices in order to access lost files. Note that stop using your iPhone when it comes to data loss, for new data will overwrite old contents, making them gone for ever. Step 1.

Tips & Notes: What to Do if iPhone Fell into Water? 1. Get your iPhone out of water right at the second it drops into water. The longer the phone stays in water, the greater damage it will cause to hardware. If you get it out of water in time, the damage can be limited to the minimum. Even if you're using an iPhone 7/7 Plus, I bet you don't want to leave it in water for long. 2. Do not restart the iPhone immediately. Most of the time, people would unconsciously try to turn on their phones if off. However, don't rush to press down your "Power" button. Since reboot will start up some programs on the background, it's possible to bring about the breakdown of the mainboard with no luck. 3. Remove SIM card. This steps is to prevent your SIM card from further damage. You certainly don't want your SIM card to be damaged along with your iPhone. Take it out of the slot and leave it aside until it's dry and clean. Plug it in other devices and see whether is all right. 4. Dry your iPhone off via a hairdryer and a bowel of uncooked rice. You should rub your iPhone with clothes in the first place. Next, shake it off (I don't mean the song of Taylor Swift) to get water out as much as you can. Then, use a hairdryer to dry your iPhone off. However, don't let the hot wind directly blow to your iPhone (especially the slots) for long due to the danger that it may melt the circuit board and other parts. Lastly, put your iPhone into a bowel of uncooked rice, for rice is able to absorb excessive water without damage. After you get your lost data back on the computer, the next step for you is perhaps to consider upgrading your iPhone to a new one. If you're planning to buy a new iPhone, you can resort to iPhone Transfer to import the contents from your old iPhone to your new iPhone without a hitch. www.ifonetips.com
