iPhone XS water damage what can I do?

I went through some of the repair process and it quoted me just under $1400 to repair it actually... if Apple caused the problem they should really do something also like I said I am disabled I don’t make enough to live off and there’s is no way I’m giving Apple more money when the last repair is the cause for my current problem

i live in Canada so Canadian dollars. And the repair cost is more than I get in a month on disabilities so yeah. It’s the highest storage phone idk if that affects the cost but they don’t even have replacement available for XS because they discontinued them... I bought that phone with my injury settlement I don’t have money to throw at Apple because they couldn’t seal my phone when they fixed it... honestly at this point I regret getting the phone so much because it was absolutely not worth $2000 if it can’t even get wet. I had a first gen iPhone when I was like 14 that survived vein in the ocean and this one can’t handle literally 2 seconds in fresh water. I am definitely not going to be going back to Apple If I can’t get help on this somehow without having to pay more than a thousand dollars

Thanks, idk I’ll keep trying to contact them I can’t find a way that will just let me message them tho and yeah I Had Apple repair the screen in April And this is the first time it got wet at all and it just slid into the sink for a second it wasn’t even really submerged.

It was water resistant before I sent it in... and for $2000 I expect them to not be lying when they say splash resistant and as I said the skunk was not full the water was just running really it just got splashed... for two THOUSAND dollars yeah you would think it was actually splash resistant!!

Yeah I saw that as well and was pretty frustrated about that. My Apple care + just ran out in June too 😩 I have talked to text support now tho and am currently attempting what they suggested and it seems like it might work so hopefully the crisis can be averted. My only thought for why the price is quoted so high is maybe because my phone is not the lowest storage option idk if that should really matter tho for a repair

Well I tried everything they suggested and it’s still just restarting over and over. The problem is slightly different now but it’s unusable... And the support person said my only option was to pay the quote for repairs since I am not close enough to an Apple store to go in in person because of travel restrictions. I guess I’m just done with Apple.

i wouldn’t have paid $2000 for an android though. I could literally buy the newest iPhone for less than it would cost to fix this one. I just expected better quality and better accountability if the seals where damaged they should have told me it wasn’t spill resistant anymore.. clean water didn’t even damage old iPhones this much it seems like the price has gone way up and the actual durability has gone down for the most part... it’s disappointing and I wouldn’t feel ok buying another super expensive device from them. Whatever I can’t afford to save up to buy from them anyways I am on disabilities and only could buy the first one because I had money from my injury settlement..
