The problem is that it was never recommended to put your device in the microwave.

Take a look at this Apple Support article:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051

Reset your network settings.

Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings

Reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

The problem is that you microwaved your phone. Not only have you destroyed your phone, you've probably also destroyed the microwave. There is absolutely no sensible reason a phone should ever be in a microwave.


Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store and see if they will offer you an out of warranty replacement.


If the phone was simply on the microwave when you turned it on, that should have had no effect on the phone.
