Apple Warns Against Using Rice to Dry Wet iPhones

Apple warns against using the traditional method of putting wet phones in rice, stating that it can actually cause more harm. Instead, the company recommends gently tapping the phone to remove excess liquid and leaving it in a dry area with airflow for at least 30 minutes. If the phone still isn't charging, additional drying time may be needed. Other common drying hacks like using a hairdryer or cotton swab are also discouraged.
