Iphone water damage

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have an iphone 4 on pay as you go, my cat has just knocked it off my knee into a cup of coffee :(, the top half went in, so no liquid got in through the charger bit, it now wont come on, ive put it in rice like many say, are there any other options, is there a chance of it working again as I bought it outright for £400+ and have no insurance!

Also just incase, does anyone know how much an iphone4 16gb is on pay as you go? I cannot find the price anywhere online, it just directs me to stores that have it in stock.

Thankyou

We got her from the RSPCA 2 week ago, considering taking her back ha!

 


The RSPCA could be liable here, for not supplying an "Apple friendly" feline!

 

You could have the "Samsung friendly" version.

 

You have a good case! Smiley LOLheart

Well worth the drive you wil be in and out in 10 mins max.

 

Replacement phone will have the same warranty as the old one or a minimum of 3 months if warranty period is ending.

 

I had to drive 72 miles each way until a nearer one opened only 35 miles away but that drive takes an hour worth the trip anytime we have had any hardware issues

I wouldn't take the cat with you, she could destroy the Apple shop and they could get grumpy! Smiley LOL

At a genius appointment they swap out on the spot just restore from last backup when home and all old stuff will go on the replacement.

 

But make sure you have booked the appointment online

I suspect the cat will know how to handle that, you will probably do as it tells you! Smiley LOL
