If I change the battery, will my phone lose its water resistance?
No. When battery replacement is performed at an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Apple’s official factory specifications are strictly followed.
During the repair, the old waterproof seal is removed, the device is thoroughly cleaned, and new genuine sealing tapes are applied. Apple’s specialized equipment is then used to apply the required pressure for the correct amount of time, and the scheduled diagnostic checks are completed.
This process maintains the device’s water and dust protection in line with the model’s specifications. However, water resistance is not permanent and can naturally decrease over time with use.
