Apple Updates Advice on Drying Wet iPhones - Avoid Rice, Let Air Dry
• Apple now advises against using rice to dry out a wet iPhone, as rice particles could further damage the phone • Instead, gently tap the phone to remove excess liquid and leave it in a dry area with airflow for up to 24 hours • Don't use external heat sources like a hairdryer or insert objects like paper towels to dry the phone • Today's iPhones can withstand submersion in water up to 6 meters for 30 minutes, reducing liquid damage risk • If the phone still won't charge after drying, unplug and replug the charging cable to reset the connection
