This is a hidden iPhone sensor that you can discover yourself

It will be a sticker that changes color when in contact with water or other liquid, thus making it clear to the company whether your iPhone has been exposed to it, thus avoiding coverage for damage caused by it, whether it is in use or not. a guarantee.

Here is the hidden iPhone sensor

This sensor, as we said, is present in all models, so if you have an iPhone, you can check it no matter what it is. Its location from the beginning is the same, Inside the SIM card slot.

It is very easy to locate, and as we said, everyone has it there, but in case you have questions, on the official website, which we leave to you hereall models are shown and a photo shows this better.

The sensor has a name LCI (Liquid Contact Indicator) As it means, it is a “snitch” that will tell us if the iPhone has been exposed to any liquid.

If you have a waterproof phone, it will be too, since this opening is sealed and no liquid should get inside, barring misuse or tampering, so if your phone also has the positive indicator, Apple will not cover it with warranty.

How to check its status ourselves?

Well, it's very simple, we just have to do it Open the cover where the SIM card is located, locate the sensor (like the one in the previous picture) and check its color. If it's white, it means the iPhone hasn't come into contact with any liquid, and even if you put it in a pool, shutting it down will work properly.

On the other hand, if this “sticker” is found on… Red colorI do not have such good news, your smartphone may have been exposed to contact with liquids and although there are no problems, anything that happens to you from today that may be related to it will not be covered by the warranty, because there will already be the loss of the same.

Now that you know, you can take a look at your iPhone and check if it has come into contact with any liquid or, fortunately, is still free of it. If you have an iPod, you can also find out, since it's included as well.

As information, it must be said The sensor only detects waterIts color does not change unless it is water or part of it is formed (such as beer). However, if the liquid does not contain water, even though it is water, its color will not change. Although I doubt you dropped it in, say, a gas can, but if so, Apple might be outdone, because they're not prepared for that.
