Important Steps After Liquid Damage
Liquid damage can continue to get worse even after the outside of the phone looks dry. The safest next step is to avoid powering or charging the phone and arrange an inspection.
Do Not Charge It
Charging a wet or corroded iPhone can cause further electrical damage.
Do Not Heat It
Avoid hair dryers, ovens or direct heat. Heat can damage the battery, screen and seals.
Bring It In Quickly
The sooner we inspect it, the better the chance of reducing corrosion and saving data.
