It happens to the best of us. Just when we think we’re being careful the unthinkable happens and we are looking to repair our iPhone or iPad.
Let’s take a look at some of the more inventive ways Apple lovers have damaged their most prized possessions:
Water Damage
The toilet – One of the top three causes of water damage to iPhone’s comes as a result of the phone being dropped in the toilet. We’ve all been been subjected to the person in the next stall holding a loud conversation with their BFF while answering nature’s call. After all, we’re nothing if not multitaskers right? Then comes the moment where said person stands up and attempts to really multitask while cradling said phone on their shoulder. Hopefully the flush comes before the drop, but either way, the phone is going to feel the effects of the water, and they’ll be looking in to iPhone repair.
Rain – It should be obvious, but using your iPhone or iPad in the rain is not a good idea. Yet, it doesn’t stop some people from doing it. Unless you have a watertight, waterproof case on your precious electronics, keep them in your purse or your pocket until you can get undercover.
Taking your iPhone for a swim – Yes, this really happens. A day at the beach or a day at the pool can be a ton of fun. Sunglasses, sunscreen and your iPhone in your pocket, all prepared right? Until the moment you decide to get wet, and forget to take your phone out of your pocket.
Cracked Screens
Dropping your iPhone or iPad – The number one reason people call us is for cracked, broken or shattered iPhone and iPad screen repair. And what easier way to crack or shatter the screen than by dropping it? Whether you’re playing a game that gets you flinging your hands around at the speed of sound or you just have butterfingers, try to keep a grip on your iPhone or iPad to avoid purchasing a new screen.
Other people dropping your iPhone or iPad - See above, and try not to let that accident prone friend of yours borrow your gadgets.
Tripping whilst reading – happens to the best of us, we get engrossed in a story, the door rings and you think “I’ll finish this as I walk to the door” but don’t see the roller skate/cat/trip hazard and before you know it your beloved iPad is prised from your grip, dives into the arms of gravity and is hurtling towards the wood floor. So try to avoid walking and reading to prevent the need for a replacement iPad screen.
No matter how you (or your friend) have damaged your iPhone or iPad the bottom line is it will need to be repaired. iPhone repair and iPad repair are necessary to restore the function and beauty to your Apple products and to protect your investment.
