I left the iPhone 15 in the freezer. I like forgot about it. I took it out, and it looked like it was completely frozen like there was everywhere and I freaked out, then I tried it off. I am of the case I removed. and so far, it looks like And feels the same. Any suggestions as to what I should do?
iPhone 15, iOS 17
Allow it to warm up. Do NOT apply heat to it. If it still won’t work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar. The cells in the LCD are filled with liquid… that’s what the L stands for. Liquids expand when frozen. If that happened and the barriers between the pixels were damaged, at the very least the screen will have to be replaced.
The other risk is condensation inside the phone from the rapid temperature change. if that happened and liquid has condensed out of the air inside the housing, it’s toast. The phone will have to be replaced.
