What could be better than a cool seaside breeze, scorching sun rays, and soft sand between our toes on sweltering summer days like the ones we’ve been experiencing lately? You’ll need more than just towels and sunscreen while getting ready for a day at the beach. Make sure your iPhone is safe and prepared for the journey as well. Unfortunately, the heat, sand, and salty ocean water that entice us to the beach may seriously damage our electronic equipment. Before packing your iPhone into your beach bag, consider the following seaside safety measures.
Keep your phone up off the ground and away from the sun, so your iPhone is safe. Your equipment may suffer serious harm from the sand’s heat and direct sunshine. If you don’t want to put your gadget in danger of water damage, you could want to cover it with a towel, or a shirt, or even place it in a cooler. Move your phone to a cooler location and consider putting it in airplane mode or even turning it off to give it some time to cool down if your phone does chance to overheat (you’ll notice a warning signal flash on your screen).
Delete any graphically intensive applications. Games and other power-hungry applications will increase the heat your phone currently produces. You obviously went to the beach to unwind a little.
To prevent those cunning little sand grains from entering the ports on your phone, use dust plugs. Sand may damage your phone’s screen as well as take over its ports. Wear a screen protector or, even better, buy a sturdy waterproof case. In terms of sand protection, they ought to work.
The corrosion process in your phone might be sparked by even a little amount of ordinary tap water. However, saltwater is far worse and speeds up rust! If you live near the ocean, put your phone in a waterproof bag or case to guard against any water damage. You can easily purchase waterproof neckbands that let you use your phone through plastic, or you can even put your phone in a ziplock bag.
You are now prepared to go to the beach with your iPhone!
