iPhone X fell into the water - what now?

It is not uncommon for a user to drop his beloved iPhone into the water. Whether it slips out of the pocket by accident and lands in a puddle or finds its way into the toilet, the annoyance remains the same. Sometimes the iPhone suffers severe damage from the moisture.

iPhone X fell into the water - here's what you need to watch out for

Depending on the extent of the incident, you need to act differently.

1. If you react in time or the iPhone is only immersed in water to a certain depth, you usually don't need to worry.
2. The iPhone X can be submerged up to one meter under water without suffering any damage.
3. For longer stays in the water or a greater depth, it looks different.
4. Also other liquids can not be ruled out as a pest across the board, just because the device is not immersed further than one meter.
5. After removing the smartphone, dry it carefully and under no circumstances take out the battery.

So sollten Sie nun reagieren

1. Wenn der Schaden groß scheint, nehmen Sie sich einen luftdichten Frischhaltebeutel zur Hand.
2. Füllen Sie diesen mit ungekochtem Reis und legen Sie das Gerät hinein.
3. Schließen Sie den Beutel und warten Sie darauf, dass der Reis das übrige Wasser aufnimmt.
