There are times especially, in the mornings when you have rush to office, an interview or catch a flight on time. Such days begin with barging into toilets and bath rooms. In many cases iPhone owners have dropped their Apple iPhones in the water sinks, bath tubs or toilets. On a rainy day the bad weather full of moisture can get your iphone steamy.

The iPhone problem is not quite strange as it has a reputation for being supersensitive to sweat and steam. There is a quick solution for all such mishaps. Firstly, shake your phone it heavily in all directions thereby removing excess water from the surface and then clean it with a soft cloth preferably cotton.

Thereafter, keep it within a box full of rice, as illustrated because it generally absorbs all the most moisture from the phone. After an hour place it in a dry area to ensure that most of the wetness has been evaporated. This way you can expect the handset to be dry from inside too and it’s completely dry. Then switch it ON to check that the phone is in working condition and not dead for sure.

Once this home remedy fails there is no better option than to contact the nearest Apple Iphone dealer or service center to replace your hand phone. If your warranty or service contract has expired then you will have pay $ 199 towards replacing the phone with an absolutely new device of similar model. I am thankful to a new wet iPhone replacement plan introduced by Apple this week. It is also known as discounted replacement and you avoid the agony of having to sign up for a new contract all for $199.

Regardless of the reason, Apple previously hadn’t too understood about water damage to the devices. Earlier, it used to require you to buy a new phone and start a new contract, putting a real damper on the whole iPhone-owning experience. Lately, the company is changing its tune. Beside, you are extending your cellular life service for another two years which I think is a bonus as well.

Also, you can always go for the iDive underwater case which is pretty safe. It will protect your iPhone under water up to 300 feet from any kind of wetness.
