iPhone 11 Pro Max I Wiped my Phone Screen with 75% Alcohol please help

[Dan50]

I’m not sure it’s due to this but recently my iPhone screen has been dimming even I’m still using it. I sprayed it one time on the tissue and gently wiped on just the glass protection part of the screen. Do you think my phone is damaged? It doesn’t happen all the time, it happens sometimes. I used 75% cleaning product not the type for medical use so I’m worried.

You’re g2g. I’ve been using alcohol wipes from my work and no problems whatsoever.

But it was a cleaning type that says 75 percent alcohol which is used to clean products for items such as tables and doorknobs. It’s not an alcohol wipe that’s used to wipe your hands with.

It's fine! All you've done is slightly hasten the deterioration of the oleophobic coating, which (in my experience with 10 iPhones over the last 11 years) only really lasts for 3-6 months, anyway.

So it didn’t affect my device? Just the phone coating? I’m worried because of the dimming situation I have at times. I’m worried if the alcohol went inside my device underneath the glass

It didn't. You're fine.

Turn off auto brightness. Cycle phone off and on. Turn auto back on. Seems to be a backlight bug on some devices.

1) Current iPhones are sealed against dust and liquid.
2) Alcohol is used to clean electronics.
3) Calm down.

Wiping with alcohol won't hurt anything on the phone. I've used those little prep pads for 5 years on the same phone
