(Reuters) – While a drop or near-drowning episode may not be quite fatal for an iPhone or iPad, the cost of repair may be so prohibitive that buying a new device may seem a better option.

Consumers have bought more than 100 million of Apple Inc’s (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) gadgets, and that total is growing rapidly, with 52 million iPhones and iPads sold just in the last 14 weeks of 2011.
