My Jet Black 7+ Bricked - Water Damage

[NovemberWhiskey]

If they continue to deny warranty claims of water-damaged iPhones as a result of biking through the rain and the like, there will most certainly be a class action lawsuit.

Have you heard of one such case? I haven't.

It's Apple and they've been sued for far more trivial things like millions of colors and not giving out brand new replacements when swapping out under AC+. This one would actually hold water (pun intended), especially if they deny water damage claims within the scope of the IP67 rating.

Do you know how bad your reasoning has been. Trying to follow your argument is insane.

You mean of a product failing and becoming unusable as a consequence of performing an advertised included feature?

I think the question was, have we seen Apple deny warranty claims on the iPhone 7's for water damage yet. This thread, the OP hadn't yet engaged Apple.

Apple declined claims by the thousands due to faulty moisture sensors back in the 3GS era. This was the biggest issue that comes to mind without previous research.

It's not unprecedented, folks.

My opinion? If you're going to give it an official rating it needs to live up to that. And it's on the manufacturer to prove that you went beyond that rating. Or... you can still produce itnup to that rating but not advertise as such. Nobody is going to complain their device is water resistant despite the manufacturer never mentioning it...

I don't know why people even test the IP67 out.. I have just taken it as an added bonus to my beautiful phone; I take the same care as I did before; Case etc If it gets rain on it it will probably be okay but I will keep it in my pocket and use it as little as possible during a storm etc much like any other electronic device.

Leave the testing to the youtubers!

Mkay cause every year (including my 6s+) a lot of people have issues with first batches. You were just super lucky. My 6s+ came with a cracked motherboard, broken haptic engine, bad battery and a few other issues that I have the repair receipt for. (My Apple Store insisted the issues I had were my imagination, Apple repair said differently :^])

Don't put much stock into the AppleCare letter you get explaining what they replaced. When I worked there, Depot was famous for putting new logic boards, speakers, displays, and all sorts of random parts for simple repairs. They take a shotgun to almost every repair, to get the devices in and out as fast as possible.

Your wife seems a bit accident prone. I wonder how many previous versions of iPhones she destroyed

SPOT ON haha! it all started once we had our son.. her 6+ has dried up smoothie in there, also happened to be on her lap while she was holding him and he threw up... Not to mention the drops. Never had a shattered screen though lol

No need to hire. Apple has a way to detect if the problem is water damage as I read somewhere there is an indicator inside or something like that
