Water Damage Indicator Positions in any Apple Iphone

Many people tend to buy used iphones. Some iphones out there for sale are water damaged and people who doesn't know to check for water damage, buy the phone and gets in to trouble after sometime.

So i thought of making a guide , so that people will know how to check for water damage in an iphone without removing the iphone.

Lets get started:-

1:) All the iphones starting from first generation have water damage indicators down the head phone jack.  You will have to use a flash light to check this. When you look at the head phone jack in the phone , you will notice that there is disk inside the headphone jack.
If that disk inside the headphone jack is white, the phone is not water damaged or there has been no moisture. If any moisture or water touches the disk , the disk will turn red which indicates water damaged.

2:) This is the easiest way to check for water damage without using a flash light.  The second water damage indicator is in the dock connector or simply charging port.  The indicator is placed in the middle, below the mid rib. If any water touches the charging dock or phone it simply turns red.




Below images clearly shows where the water damage indicators are placed and how it looks after water damage













Note:-
If the indicator is white , the phone is not water damaged.
If the indicator is red, the phone is water damaged.


These are the 2 methods for checking water damage in any iphone without removing the iphone.  So now when you buy an used apple iphone make sure that you check the water indicators.

Identify Between Apple Iphone 3g & 3gs

Well many people on the internet ask the question how to tell the difference between an iphone 3g and an iphone 3gs.

Well so i thought of doing a guide about it.

Lets get Started:-

Method (1)

Connect the iphone to a computer which has itunes.
Itunes will detect the  iphone and you can see the model whether it's an iphone 3g or a 3gs.

Method (2)

Open the camera of the iphone if it has the video feature then it's an iphone 3gs (iphone 3g doesn't support video) or check for the compass application it comes pre-installed in the iphone 3gs or hold down the home button to check whether the voice control comes up (iphone 3g doesn't support voice control).

Method (3)

You can check the rear housing of the iphone. If the imprint on the back case is the same bright and shiny silver as the apple logo and if the model number is A1303 its an apple iphone 3gs. 
In Apple iphone 3g the imprint on the back case of the phone is less shiny than the apple logo and the model number of apple iphone 3g is A124.



These are the methods of identifying whether its an apple 3g or a 3gs.
