Prepare a SIM removal tool (SIM stick) or a straight paper clip. To find the liquid contact indicator on your iPhone 5, 6 or 7, you need to open the SIM tray.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/80/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/80/ Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-2-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Identify the SIM slot. You will see the SIM slot with a small hole below it located along the right edge of the iPhone.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/95/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/95/ Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-3-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Push the paper clip or SIM eject tool into the small hole. This is the button to pop out the SIM tray.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/ Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-4-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Press to pop out the SIM tray. You just need to press lightly, the SIM tray will pop out. Be careful not to lose the SIM card when taking out the SIM tray.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/90/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/90/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shine the light into the SIM slot. You can use a flashlight or just hold your phone under a table lamp.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e2/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Look for the red indicator. If your iPhone has been exposed to liquid near the SIM slot, you’ll see red in the center of the empty slot.
- On the iPhone 7, the indicator is a long bar that takes up about half of the SIM slot.
- On the iPhone 6, the indicator is located near the middle, only slightly raised.
- On iPhone 5, the indicator is circular and is located in the middle of the SIM slot.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/79/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/79/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Contact your carrier to find an alternative. If your phone has been exposed to water, you can fix it yourself, but it’s also possible that you need a new one. Water damage is not covered by AppleCare, but if you purchased a carrier warranty plan, you will hopefully be repaired/replaced.
With iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/69/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/69/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shine the light into the headphone jack. One of the two liquid contact indicators on these iPhone models is located in the headphone jack.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c7/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Look for the red liquid contact indicator. If you see a red half-circle when looking directly into the socket, the indicator has come into contact with liquid.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1c/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1c/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shine the light on the charging port. The second indicator is located on the bottom of the phone right where the charging port is.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Look for the red liquid contact indicator. If the phone has been submerged in water, you’ll see a tiny red bar in the center of the charging port.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c2/Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Check- if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c2/Check-if-Your-iPhone- Has-Water-Damage-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Check-if-Your-iPhone-Has-Water-Damage-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:334,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:529,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check out alternative options. If the indicator shows that liquid has entered, you can fix the problem yourself. However, there is a chance that you need to change it, especially if the water has been in the machine for a while.
- Water damage is not covered by AppleCare, but you can contact your carrier for repair/replacement.
Advice
- The liquid contact indicator does not turn red immediately. If you notice the indicator on your iPhone is red, it means that your phone has been dropped in water or in water (or other liquid) for quite some time.
- To prevent serious problems, you need to bring your iPhone to the nearest service center as soon as you find that it has been submerged in water.
