IPhone XS not working 100% after water test

I tried taking pics inside the water. Just after 2 minutes my phones display came full white. After 2-3 hours later it became normal but the touch Is not working perfect and face detection is not working at all. Please let me know where can I get it done.

You immersed the phone in water? Really? It's not waterproof.


See the footnotes here:


iPhone XS - Apple


iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 2 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear.

IP6B under IEC standard 60529...maximum depth of 2 meters up to 30mins...so if you exceed these


Read what that footnote, quoted above, says. It does NOT say that an iPhone will operate under those conditions. It just says it was tested to that standard, under laboratory conditions. These objects are not water proof, they are resistant. Frankly we have no idea what the OP did, however, I'm pretty sure it wasn't under lab conditions. Simply: immersing your phone in water is asking for trouble, and it's not covered by the warranty.

Correct. No iPhone is waterproof.
