😎Summer is one of the best seasons, but it can be surprisingly rough on phones! Heat, water, sand, and travel can all do damage fast ⚡️! Here are some tips to help you keep your phone safe all season👇🏻
1. ☀️Protect your phone from heat! 🔥
High temps can damage your battery, slow performance, and even cause shutdowns.
• Never leave your phone in a hot car
• Keep your phone in the shade when possible
• If a phone overheats, remove any thick cases that may be making it worse
• Avoid “heavy” apps (games, editing, streaming, etc) while in direct sunlight
• Use low power mode when in direct sunlight
• See this post a little too late and need a new battery? I offer battery replacements on certain models!
2. Guard against water damage 🚫🌊
*Even water resistant phones CAN fail over time. I get a lot of requests to repair water damaged phones. I cannot- so follow these tips to prevent it from happening:
• Use a waterproof pouch when around water
• Don’t charge your phone if it’s wet 💦
• Dry it immediately if splashed; turn it off if soaked
• Saltwater is especially damaging, so avoid taking it into the ocean
3. Keep sand and dirt out! 🏜️
Sand and dirt can scratch your screen and clog your ports!
• Store your phone in a zip bag or pouch when around sand or dusty/dry climates
• Consider using a case with port covers
4. Travel smart! ✈️🧳
People tend to travel more in the summer, which increases the chance of loss/theft.
• Crossbody bags are great for keeping a phone secure and close.
• Turn on “Find My iPhone” or tracking device. Make sure you know passwords for these tools.
• Set a strong passcode!!
• Always back up your phone before going on trips
5. Shop local! Contact our team for screen replacements and/or to see if your model qualifies for a battery replacement! Screen replacements on tablets and iPads are available too.
6. This one isn’t really for phone safety- but more importantly, YOUR safety. Getting that “perfect shot” for your social media is NOT worth risking your life! 🌄📸 Stay safe!
