Frequently Asked Questions

These questions address the specific recovery situation this page covers.

Does AppleCare cover water damage to the iPhone speaker?

Standard AppleCare, which comes with every iPhone for one year, covers manufacturing defects but not accidental damage including water damage. AppleCare+ covers up to two incidents of accidental damage per year, which includes liquid damage, with a service fee. The service fee for screen damage is different from the fee for other damage including speaker issues, which fall under the general accidental damage category.

What is the AppleCare+ service fee for water-damaged speaker repair?

The accidental damage service fee under AppleCare+ varies by iPhone model and region. As of recent pricing, fees for other damage, which includes speaker and internal component issues, are lower than screen replacement fees. Check the Apple Support website for current fee schedules specific to your iPhone model, as these change with new product generations.

What if I do not have AppleCare+?

Out-of-warranty iPhone speaker repair through Apple is priced based on the model. Independent repair shops and third-party warranty providers are typically less expensive options. Some credit cards also include device protection that covers accidental damage, which may cover water-related speaker repair with a deductible.
