Apple denies one of the most recurring tips on how to dry an iPhone!

One of the most frequent tips when dealing with a smartphone with liquid inside is to insert it into a bag with raw rice. This advice also applies to the iPhone, although the Cupertino device is water resistant. In this regard, it was discovered that on a support page Apple does not recommend this practice, and indeed defines it risky and wrong try drying your device with rice.

The company, in fact, in the case of a wet iPhone or accessory recommends the following practice:

• Disconnect the cable from the iPhone;
• Dry the device;
• Shake it gently against your hand with the connector facing down;
• Then place the iPhone in a dry, perhaps even ventilated place;
• Recharge it with the cable after half an hour. If the error message reappears, leave your iPhone to dry for a full day.

However, it should be absolutely avoided the use of a hairdryer or compressed air, just as objects to be inserted into the connector should not be used.

As for rice, Apple clarifies that “small residues of rice could damage the iPhone.” Therefore, the company has denied one of the most commonly given pieces of advice when the user is dealing with a “wet” smartphone.
