We are in the rain season and his first time for those of us with awkward to abandon our iPod and iPhone in puddles and piles of snow porridge. While our Apple gadgets could survive a little water, there is the risk that we will be running for a bag of rice to revive our toys. And when this does occur, it is off the coast of the Apple store where we pay a price for repairs when the liquid contact indicator, or REBA, shows that it has suffered water damage.
Some of us may experience pain convince Apple Genius which we have no water on our aircraft during the period where, well, we really get water on our devices. But for some reason, these little pink LCI stickers, which means that the water is in contact with him.
He began to resemble Apple might be softening its position regarding cases where moisture enters a device:
These sensors are primarily employed by Apple to make it easier for its Apple Store geniuses and technicians from the repair of the third party to determine whether a device failed due to damage liquid, which is not covered by standard warranty in the business.
Over the years, however, since on Apple the recipient of many critics and at least a court action, sensors, which tend to indicate false positives, especially in areas with moist climate and at other times when devices were not really met direct contact with a source of liquid.
Then the people in Florida might have a case when spending over 20 minutes outside might mean that REBA changes colour. Apple said, as we see in the image above, if REBA shows that he had been in contact with water, but there was no damage or corrosion on the device, a warranty repair may be made anyway. Excellent!
