water damage on iphone 11 pro

Had slight water damage also to the iphone 11 pro (barely got sprinkled)

Screen stopped working.

Got the privilege of buying a new iphone 11 pro for $599.

Big mistake the just bought iphone 11 pro had issues and after 2 months of dealing with apple they sent a new iphone 11 pro.

This one drops calls and I am done with apple. I am rotating off all my 4 apple phones my 3 ipads, my macbook, my macbook air, my watch, and my air pods. Going to the dark side. Apple Support is not helpful at all.

"...Is it fixable issue? worth wasting more money to try get it fixed? ..."

Water damage cannot be fixed, it needs a replacement phone.

the pricing is in the article.

If you don't have AppleCare+, you may have to pay full replacement cost for "severe damage" but that is a recent change to the wording.

"Slight" water damage is sort of like being slightly pregnant. It is a binary thing. While you had it out in this barely sprinkle obviously water did get inside the iPhone and your display unit failed since water and electricity don't play well together. And it isn't covered by the warranty unless you purchased AppleCare+ which you didn't.

So as you are buying your new phones and tablets, etc. be sure to read the complete warranty on them to see if there is a warranty for water damage. If not when you are out in a barely sprinkling situation you will be in the same spot. And lots of phones drop calls which usually has more to do with location and the cell service provider rather than the phone. Be sure to check support forum site for whatever phone you are considering buying to see if they are problem free prior to purchase.

This is a user-to-user technical support site operated by Apple, no Apple management is here to read your comments. I'm not sure what you expected Apple Support to do with your water damaged phone that would be helpful other than an out of warranty replacement. As for me I really don't care what type of electronic devices you purchase and use, buy whatever meets your needs. But there is no nirvana out there.

You could try a Genius bar appointment and keep the water story out of it. They will investigate and give you a price.

Water resistance is not the same as water proof. Regardless, the drop may be the culprit here and not the water. Regardless, I still suggest that you make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them take a look and provide you with your options. If you elected to obtain an AppleCare+ plan when you purchased this phone, this may be treated as one of the two "accidental" incidents, and any repair or replacement, should come at a reduced cost.

I certainly can understand from a personal experience with a 2020 MBP that had a "little" water spilled on it by accident. It ended up requiring a new logic board, display, & track pad. Fortunately, I elected to get an AppleCare+ plan to make the experience a little less "painful."

Thanks for reply. I have fixed water damaged iPhone before years ago. I believe it was iPhone 7(?). But I`m aware it depends what parts were damaged and most likely won`t be fixable.

We don't even discuss DIY or third party repairs here. Apple will simply not attempt to fix an iPhone where the liquid detectors such as in the SIM tray have been triggered red.

As you mentioned “worth wasting money “—

YES. so my advice is the cop for a new iPhone

If you have memories in old iPhone like photos and many more worth fixing the iPhone 11 Pro ….

Sorry, I was not trying to admonish you, but you'd be surprised on how many posts we get here where folks don't ... or feel that Apple is being deceptive about the differences.

I suggest you search for your answer on google or youtube plenty of options with a more positive attitude, but it will depend on severity of damage.
