iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone battery replacement with water damage

[calabi]

Hello!

Based in the UK wondering if anyone here has any experience with getting a iPhone battery replacement even if the device has been subjected to water?

Can't find any cases of this anywhere else hoping someone has some experience to save me a wasted journey to the Apple Store

Thanks!

You can utilize Apple live chat support and ask them for their feedback based on your scenario. I'm sure they be able to give you an educated guess, but once they inspect it in person, if they Are able to determine the battery/phone is damaged due to the water, then you might be denied the service.

If it’s determined to be water damaged(or any other damage for that matter) they won’t change the battery without fixing the issues too.....which means your going to be looking at full out of warranty cost, I wouldn’t bother contacting chat they won’t answer without seeing it and at best they’ll tell you same thing I just did, ie out of warranty cost I’m afraid buddy


Best case scenario is it mightn’t be full out of warranty cost but you’ll have to pay to fix it before they’ll touch the battery

Rule of thumb, if Apple can't successfully do a job on your device because another issue is preventing that (repalce battery due to water damage in this case), they will try to fix the other issue at the same time. If there is a cost they will inform you if you still wish to proceed.
