"Apple Advises Against Using Rice for Wet iPhones"
Apple warns against using rice to dry out wet iPhones, stating that it could potentially make matters worse by allowing small particles of rice to damage the device. Instead, the company advises gently tapping the phone to remove excess liquid, leaving it in a dry area with airflow for up to 24 hours, and avoiding the use of external heat sources or compressed air. This comes as iPhones have become more water-resistant, but in the event of liquid damage, Apple recommends avoiding the rice myth and following their recommended drying methods.
