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

According to Apple, putting your wet iPhone in a bag of rice is not an effective way to dry it out. In fact, Apple recommends against using rice or any other household items to try to dry out your device.

When your iPhone gets wet, the best course of action is to power it off immediately and contact Apple Support for guidance on how to proceed. Apple may recommend taking your device to an authorized service provider to ensure it is properly dried and any potential damage is addressed.

Using rice or other absorbent materials to dry out your iPhone can actually do more harm than good. These materials can get stuck in the device’s ports and openings, causing further damage. Additionally, the moisture may not be fully removed, leading to corrosion and other issues down the line.

So remember, if your iPhone gets wet, don’t reach for the rice. Trust Apple’s recommendations and seek professional help to properly dry out and assess any damage to your device.
