Apple Advises Against Using Uncooked Rice to Dry Wet iPhones

Apple is advising against using uncooked rice to dry out wet iPhones, as it could potentially damage the device. Instead, users are instructed to gently tap the phone to remove excess liquid, then leave it in a dry area with airflow. Charging the phone or cable while wet can cause corrosion and permanent damage, so it's recommended to wait for the device to completely dry before attempting to reconnect it to a power adapter. Additionally, using external heat sources or compressed air to dry the phone is discouraged.

It is unclear if the daemon will be available for all Mac models compatible with macOS Sonoma.
