How to Protect Your iPhone

When you purchase an iPhone, you're usually spending at least a few hundred dollars. It's an investment, and a phone you'll likely want to keep around for the next 2+ years. That's why it's important to keep it as protected as possible. If you want to do what you can to keep your iPhone out of the smartphone graveyard, here are a few tips.

Get a case. An iPhone case can help absorb some of the impact from a drop, and can also protect the exterior of your phone from becoming scratched, chipped, or otherwise broken in any other way.

Stay away from water. Water is one of the biggest killers of mobile phones. Phones are constantly left in the rain, or dropped into sinks or toilets. A lot of the time, an accidental smartphone swim can damage a part of the phone or render it completely useless.

Consider the situation before you bring your iPhone. Is it 100 degrees outside? Your car will probably be a lot hotter than that. Don't leave your iPhone inside it. Are you going rock climbing? If possible, keep your iPhone somewhere safer where it doesn't have the potential to fall out of a pocket or out of your backpack. Consider the situation you're going to be in, and ask yourself: could I reasonably damage my iPhone here? If the answer is yes, leave it at home.

Of course, accidents do occur and, sometimes, there's nothing you can do to stop them. If you're in need of a Bensalem iPhone screen repair, get in touch with Mort's TV & Video at (215) 945-8381.
