They are only a design and engineering company. The parts Apple uses in their devices are bought from Chinese vendors and assembled in China.

It is more likely that corrosion and residue deposits will begin to form on the logic board making the repair process more difficult. We recommend sending the device in as soon as possible even if it is still wet as our chance at repairing the device increases substantially the sooner we receive it.<strong>Q<\/strong>: <strong>My device was water damaged and now everything seems to work fine except for one function, do I still need the full water damage service?<\/strong><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Yes. Though only one function may not be working, it could be caused by a variety of things. For example, if your home button is not functioning properly, the issue may be caused by the home button flex, the lower dock connector assembly, the Logic board, or any combination of the three since the phone was water damaged.<strong>Q<\/strong>: <strong>How Long does water damage repair generally take?<\/strong><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Water damage repair generally takes between 5-7 business days to complete depending on the level of damage.
