Causes of iPhone Damage–We have all been there. Maybe you are a busy mom who is juggling your phone, your child, and an overloaded diaper bag.

Your child squirms and you drop your iPhone.

Maybe you drop your phone down the side of your seat while driving and it falls onto the pavement when you open the car door.

Maybe you are a hardworking professional and you rely on your phone all day to get your work done.

The day before a big product launch, your phone stops working.

Maybe the speakers on your iPhone stop working suddenly and you cannot listen to your favorite podcasts during your morning run.

Whatever the case, when your iPhone stops working, it is annoying at best and severely problematic at worst.

When disaster strikes, know that you are not alone.

The pros at UR Gadget Doctors can help get you back up and running in no time.

The following are the most common causes of iPhone damage in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

The Dropped iPhone With a Cracked Screen

Motorola recently demonstrated that 50% of people in the world have cracked the screen of their smartphone at least once in their lives.

The report, published in 2015, also found that at the time of the study, 21% of smartphone owners throughout the world had a cracked screen.

30% of Americans had a cracked screen at the time of the study.

One surprising aspect of the report was that 23% of those surveyed kept using their cracked smartphones even after they had cut their fingers while using them.

43% of those surveyed said they did not fix their screens because they thought the repairs would be too expensive.

Many people assume that repairing an iPhone will be extremely expensive, but at UR Gadget Doctors, we repair your cracked iPhone screen quickly for a reasonable price.

The 2015 Motorola report states that approximately 50% of cracked phone screens happen from a single drop.

32% of people reported that their phones fell out of their pockets while 27% said their phones fell out of their laps when they stood up.

Selfies can also cause shattered phone screens. 7% of respondents said their phones dropped, and the screen shattered, while taking a selfie. 5% said their phones shattered when they threw them.

The iPhone That Gets Wet

It is a fairly common scenario: We forget that our iPhone is in our pocket and it slides out unexpectedly, right into the toilet.

Perhaps we jump into the pool on a whim, forgetting that our iPhone is in our pocket.

Another common cause of liquid damage is accidentally knocking over a drink onto a phone.

While many people accidentally drop phones in the sink or the tub, simply leaving your iPhone in the bathroom while you take a bath or shower can cause water damage through excessive humidity.

Leaving your phone on a basket of damp clothes may allow condensation to enter the phone.

If you commonly stick your phone in a cup holder, your phone may absorb any water left over in the cup holder.

If you tuck your phone inside a waistband or sports bra during your workout, you sweat can get inside, as well, causing damage.

Lastly, a playful pup can get ahold of your phone, put it in its mouth, drool on it, or even pee on it, rendering it unusable.

The iPhone That Gets Crushed

Do you carry your iPhone in your back pocket of your pants?

Sitting down full force on your iPhone in your pocket will lead to it being crushed.

Children can also break an iPhone by stepping on it, running it over with a toy, throwing it against the wall, etc.

Cars are often responsible for running over phones, as well.

Your phone can fall out of your pocket while you load your kids in the car.

Perhaps you set your phone on top of your vehicle while you strap your children into their seatbelts.

Either way, it is easy to see how a car can run over a phone and crushing it.

The iPhone That is Unprotected 

Just because you purchase an expensive iPhone case does not mean that it will adequately protect your iPhone.

Putting the wrong size or type of case on your iPhone could place your phone at risk of serious damage.

For example, if you forcefully put the wrong sized case on your phone, you could break the cameras or crush the edges of the phone.

Even a soft case can cause wear and tear on your phone.

Make sure you purchase a high-quality case that is made to fit the exact size and style of your iPhone.

The iPhone That Overheats

Now that most phones have Lithium-ion batteries, you can charge them as much as you need to.

You no longer need to let the battery get close to dead before charging.

Overcharging is not typically an issue, although sometimes overcharging can lead to excessive heat.

If you live in a hot climate, it can be harmful to leave your phone in a parked car.

Newer phones often have an internal sensor that recognizes when the phone gets too hot and shuts the phone off to prevent damage automatically.
