  • Let's have a look at how to tell if your iPhone X, iPhone XS or iPhone 11 has been water damaged by looking at the water damage indicator sticker hidden inside the SIM card tray. We'll also have a closer look at this sticker by opening up the phone and having a look at where it is located and how it works.
    If you've got any suggestions for tech videos, repairs or reviews which you'd like me to do, leave a comment in the video description.

    Hi Michael , great video and very informative. If I had the front glass replaced (not by apple) could the sticker be removed or covered while putting the new glass on the phone? It appears my phone is now missing the sticker, although I can't say I saw the sticker before the glass was repelaced as I did not look for it beforehand.

    for your next videos, listen and watch the video first before uploading. You might notice some editing issues like the ratio between music volume and dialogue volume. It is difficult to hear what you are saying so we turn up the volume, but as soon as the music comes back it is super loud.

    Hi Michael, I have a question. I had the phone in the water for about 2 seconds. I was missing one screw on the bottom of the phone. Everything was fine, the next day I was able to call normally, but after 2 hours of the call, the phone started beeping during the call. The sound on the front and back camera works fine, the voicemail does the same thing as a call (beep) The SIM indicator is fine. I don't want to reach inside the phone because I'm worried about the possible warranty (I have no idea if only the service can open it), otherwise I have experience with it, but I'd rather go after the warranty. Thank you for you answer.

    changed the screen on an XSM that I suspected may have gotten wet at some point as the indicator on the screen was red and the inside smelled a bit musty, couldnt find any indicator in the sim tray. new screen seemed to work without issue (old screen had a purple line on it indicating lcd dmg) but I let the owner know of the issue and that they may experience further issues later on, of which I am not responsible for.

    • @MichaelKlements
      @MichaelKlements  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, it is frustrating when you know that the phone wasn't submerged. The trouble is that water resistance is quite complex and depends on both the submerged depth and the duration, both of which are difficult to measure on the actual device. So Apple provides a level of water resistance but they don't guarantee it. You'll also see that they always use the words "water-resistant" rather than "waterproof".

    my OG Iphone SE (2016) works great except the battery life. But Apple said they'd only replace the battery ($49) if they fix the water damage for $200. The phone shuts off when ambient temps reach the 50s and the colder it is, the likelier it will shut off. The phone also doesn't turn on if the phone is too cold. Now I'm either getting the iPhone 12 mini or Pixel 5a. I'm mostly concerned about overall longevity of the phone especially battery life.

      @MichaelKlements  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Piyu. Although the newer iPhones are advertised as being water resistant, this doesn't mean that you should intentionally submerge them and they're not designed for underwater videos and photos. Apple don't generally replace or repair water damaged iPhones. If you do have the option then go with a replacement, repairs don't always pick up all of the problems and some issues may only show up after a few months.

      I would avoid spraying anything into the phone. The phone is pretty well sealed, so the water doesn't really have anywhere to go. All you'll be doing is moving it around in the phone and possibly damaging more components. The best would probably be to open it up and dry it out properly if it's still working.

      @MichaelKlements  3 роки тому +3

      If your phone starts acting up after coming in contact with water (seawater is the worst) then its likely water damaged and could be dead. If you're unsure of the phones condition you could try opening it up yourself or taking it to Apple to asses (if its still under warranty). You might find that opening it up, disconnecting the battery and allowing it to completely dry out saves the phone, although this is quite a slim chance.

    • @ksull72487
      @ksull72487 3 роки тому +2

      The stickers don’t mean everything. That’s why they keep trying to seal them up. Naturally these stickers may redden with time or condensation. So if Apple can’t guarantee this phone was deliberately dropped theyll cover it. If they think they can they’ll ask you to pay for it or you’ll admit it. Apple has an extremely high Margin on their products. Meaning the phones not worth no where anywhere what you paid. So customer care is a priority. They do try to take care of the customers.
      AppleCare or Apple Store. They will fix a lot of things they shouldn’t fix. Or stuff that most companies would say no too. Two reasons. My 3,500 computer isn’t worth 3,500 on widows plat form. And a 1 thousand dollar iPhone is around 180 bucks to make. They have loyalty and reliability. But they charge for that. Short story take it in. See what they say. They already got your money. Lol
      If you bought their most expensive computer today. It’s almost 10 grand. A set of wheels for it is $700. That means the wheels on that computer cost almost as much as the tires on my BMW. They aren’t gonna question much. You paid up front and didn’t know it. Now if this was Nokia or Samsung they’d probably shut you down faster than you could say please. But point is you kinda already paid for it

      Sometimes water gets into the phone and its not enough to damage it immediately but eventually the water or water vapour damages the components. Try opening the phone up, unplugging the battery and allowing it to dry for a few days while open. Can you still feel it vibrate and sound if you press the buttons and plug it in to charge?

      It sounds like your sim card is not making good contact with the tray terminals. Try cleaning the gold contacts on your sim with some rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work then you may need to look at getting a new sim. Most providers will give you a new one for free, or quite cheaply.

      It would be that a drop or knock has partially dislodged a connector or damaged the screen, or it may be water damage. If the phone is still under warranty then take it to Apple to asses.

    Odd question.. I was outside working on my car tonight and it suddenly started to pour rain. Amidst the scramble to cover everything I realized my phone was still on my car playing music, and it was plugged in... It was working fine when I grabbed it, immediately unplugged it, and though audio was a little muted, it seemed normal when I turned the music off(inside now). I dried it off, set it down and walked away, came back a little later and it was unresponsive, a little warm still and making an odd, almost inaudible high pitched noise that stopped a few seconds later. I pulled the sim and let it sit for a while, the lci is still white, but the phone is still unresponsive a few hours later... I am going to wait overnight and most of the day tomorrow, but what do you think is the matter? If the lci is white it would likely mean no water damage right? Just freaking out a little as I have some important work for some finals I still need to take on there. Thanks!

      No not necessarily, it just indicates that some moisture has gotten inside your phone. Sometimes enough moisture gets into the sim tray to turn the indicator red without actually damaging the iPhone. A red indicator doesn't guarantee that the hone won't work but a phone which doesn't work and has a red indicator won't be covered under warranty.

I took it to the pool to shoot a very short underwater video, after watching other videos of ppl doing it with the same phone. After 1 time my phone is all messed up now. It wont turn on normally. The screen works because it turned on once normally, but now it keeps shutting on and off by itself. It prompts the apple logo and then the reset phone by connecting it to a computer. Then doesn’t work or reset when i do that. I’m pissed i just paid off this phone.

    • @MichaelKlements
      @MichaelKlements  3 роки тому

      Hi SB. Apple don't advertise it as being water proof, they say that it's water resistant. Although there are loads of people who have used their iPhones to take underwater photos and videos, it's not advised to do so. The water resistance on the iPhone is designed to protect it from accidental contact. Depending on the age of the seals and any damage to the edges of the phone or display, the phone might not even survive a minute or two in water. It's also not likely that you'll be able to get a water damaged phone repair, it's usually the logic board which gets damaged.
