Potentially, yes. Not so much from compression, but cosmetic damage applying or removing it.

Are iPhone 13 really very strong? Are any of you very careless like me? just got a new 13 and drop it 3 times within a month..for those using iphones or older model or the same as me, should i be worried? i’m quite worried but also being more careful now. I do have a case and scene protector (landed on screen once from the bed) and does a hard case help? coming from android, heard that iphones are really strong and very hard to break..is that really true? Thanks in advance

iPhone 12 case falling apart Should the case really fall apart this badly in under a year?! This doesn’t feel like typical apple quality…feel really let down, there’s damage on every single corner after very benign useage. I take great care of my tech. Went to the Apple store and they said “nope that’s just normal wear and tear, we can’t replace that”. Bizarre! Anyone else getting this crappy quality and weird customer service?

possible hardware damage on iphone 12 I took it out on a boat trip today morning, assuming it would be fine because it was still on the boat. However, it is very possible that some ocean water was at a small leak where my phone was. It was very little i believe, but now my face id doesnt work and the bottom half of my phone isnt touch screen anymore. i had a case that stopped it and two life jackets wrapped around it. if it is hardware damage, is there anything i can do at all at home? but otherwise how much does it generally cost to fix? thank you so much
