Chances are good that your iPhone cost you quite a bit of money and you are not anxious to replace it any time soon. We will give you the most common ways to damage your iPhone as well as some tips to hopefully help you avoid any damage!
1. Drops
Think of your iPhone like a miniature computer in the palm of your hand because that is what it is. It has thousands of tiny, complicated parts that must work perfectly with each other. Drops are the number one way you can damage your iPhone. While it is inevitable that you will drop your phone at some point, buying a sturdy phone case and screen protector today is the easiest way to reduce the likelihood of damage when you drop your phone.
2. Spills
While some newer iPhone models are water resistant, no electronics enjoy getting wet. Water is an excellent conductor, so getting water on the intricate circuitry of your iPhone is a recipe for disaster. Be mindful of where you set your phone down to avoid the unfortunate situation of having to throw your phone in a bag of rice to dry out.
3. Crushes
Since you treat your iPhone almost like an extension of your body, it can be easy to forget it on the roof of your car or set it down next to your bed. Running over or stepping on your iPhone is a quick and easy way to destroy it. To combat this, keep your iPhone off the floor and be mindful of where you set it down.
4. Pets
Pets, especially dogs, are notorious for chewing up iPhones. Your dog has no idea how valuable your phone is to you; he is just looking for something to chew on. Prevent pet damage by keeping your iPhone up on a high table or counter when you are not using it. If your dog cannot reach it, he cannot gnaw on it.
5. Kids
Young children are great at finding and breaking valuables. This is especially true for iPhones, since they often make interesting noises that attract children's attention. An iPhone tossed by a toddler in a highchair may not work right anymore, which is why it pays to keep an eye on your phone around kids. Like with pets, a little foresight goes a long way. Make sure to keep your phone high out of your child's reach. iPhones are a valuable investment. Recognizing and preventing these common ways you can damage your iPhone could save you quite a bit of money in the long run and prevent you from accumulating a junk drawer of old apple products that no longer work. When it comes time to sell old Apple products you have sitting around that are damaged, or no longer working we will take your products and send you the money for them in one business day!
