Is there a way to fix water damage without voiding the warranty


There are a few options for repairing water damage on an iPhone 15 Pro Max without voiding the warranty:

1. Contact Apple Support - If your iPhone 15 Pro Max is still under warranty, your best option is to contact Apple Support. They may be able to repair or replace the device if the water damage is covered under warranty. However, intentional water damage is typically not covered.

2. Use an authorized repair service - Some third-party repair shops are authorized by Apple to perform repairs while maintaining the warranty. These shops use genuine Apple parts and follow Apple's repair procedures. As long as the repair is done properly, it should not void the warranty.

3. Perform a DIY repair - It is possible to fix minor water damage yourself by carefully drying out the phone and cleaning corrosion. However, this is risky and may void the warranty if not done properly. Only attempt this if you are very experienced with phone repairs.

The key is to act quickly if your iPhone 15 Pro Max gets wet. Power it off immediately, dry it out thoroughly, and avoid charging it until completely dry. Seek professional help from Apple or an authorized repair center as soon as possible to assess the damage and determine if a warranty repair is possible[1][2][3].
