Don’t dry your iPhone in a bag of rice, says Apple

Apple has recently issued a statement advising against the common practice of drying out a wet iPhone by placing it in a bag of rice. Contrary to popular belief, this method is not recommended by Apple as it can actually cause more harm than good to your device.

Instead of using rice, Apple suggests gently wiping the iPhone with a soft, lint-free cloth and allowing it to air dry naturally. It is important to avoid using heat or blowing air directly onto the device as this can potentially damage the internal components.

If your iPhone has come into contact with water, it is best to power it off immediately and seek professional help from an authorized Apple service provider. Attempting to dry out the device on your own can lead to further issues down the line.

Remember, prevention is key when it comes to protecting your iPhone from water damage. Invest in a waterproof case or keep your device away from potential sources of water to avoid any mishaps in the future.
