Hi, does anyone have any tips for getting information off of a water damaged iphone where the screen is black, but the phone is still working (I can hear it ring, beep for texts and it charges). I have a new iphone already. Thanks.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Thanks. I have a backup from 5.28.22. Is it worth it to have the screen replaced. I can hear the phone ringing and texts coming through…the screen is just black.

Liquid damage is not repairable. it’s only a matter of time before the entire thing fails. Apple will not replace the display on a liquid damaged device. The whole phone has to be replaced.
There is no way you can get your data off a broken phone. You are learning the hard way about the value of a back-up plan!
Okay - got it. Thanks! Wasn’t sure if it was worth trying to salvage what happened from 5.28 until now. I already have a new iPhone so I don’t need to fix it at all…I was just curious. Thanks!
Apple will not just replace the screen on a water damaged phone, there may be other water damage that hasn't shown up yet. You will most likely need to purchase a new phone or out-of-warranty replacement.
Water damage, black screen, but phone still working
