Apple Warns Against Using Rice to Dry Wet iPhones, Says Let Them Air Dry Instead
• Apple says not to put wet iPhones in uncooked rice to dry them out, as it could allow rice particles to damage the phone • If you see a "Liquid Detected" message, don't try to charge the phone until it and the cable are completely dry • Gently tap the wet phone against your hand to let excess liquid drain out, then leave it in a dry area with airflow • After 30 minutes, you can try reconnecting the phone to power, but it may take up to 24 hours to fully dry out • Don't use external heat sources like a hair dryer to dry out a wet iPhone
