Common iPhone Water Damage Issues
Even with water resistance, iPhones can suffer internal damage from spills, splashes, or full submersion. Here’s what to watch for.
Touchscreen delays or glitches
Water may interfere with screen sensitivity, causing taps to lag or apps to open on their own unexpectedly.
Distorted sound or mic failure
Audio can sound muffled or cut out if water enters the speaker or microphone chambers inside your iPhone.
Lightning port errors
Moisture in the port can trigger “liquid detected” warnings or prevent your iPhone from charging or connecting properly.
