</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Friday's letter, "Are iPhones ill-equipped for humid climates like Singapore's?" by Mr Coen Dingemans.
I too have an iPhone and what I have learnt is that there is a small moisture strip located inside the earphone jack. What both Apple and SingTel won't tell you is that if the strip turns blue, it means that moisture has gone into the phone, thereby rendering the warranty useless.
Unless the earjack is covered, keeping the phone in your pocket increases the chances that moisture from sweat will enter the earjack piece.
I feel that both Apple Singapore and SingTel should alert customers who buy iPhones to how the warranty can be rendered useless by something as simple as moisture. Todd Beltz
