Unlike most Android-operated, high-end smartphones today, the latest Apple iPhone 6 does not come with a water resistant structure. This is worrying as most iPhones are killed in a water accident and Apple has yet to give it added protection.
The iPhone 6 is never a cheap smartphone to own which is why we have to take the initiative and share some of the best methods that iPhone 6 users can apply to save their most-prized possession from short-circuiting in the water.
For starters, whenever the iPhone 6 gets consumed by water, immediately take the device out and shut it down to prevent any electrical surge. Then, open the flood gates and removed anything that is removable. This includes casing and SIM card. Now, shake the device to physically remove as much water as possible.
The next step is to leave the iPhone 6 to dry. The fastest way to do so is by using a food dehydrator. Of course, not everyone is well equipped with kitchen-wares. The other way to do it, although slower, is through leaving the iPhone 6 out in the open, dry air. We recommend users to give it at least 24 hours before attempting to use the device again.
After the day-long waiting period is done, try and switch the iPhone 6. We dare say that 99.9% of the time, it works. If it does not, try plugging in a charger to jumpstart the smartphone. If none of the above works, then it is rest in peace for the iPhone 6.
