Drying a wet iPhone in rice can be dangerous. The company urged its customers not to use this life hack to get rid of moisture in the device.
This is stated in the article of Business Insider.
Yes, earlier on the Internet there was a life hack on how to dry an iPhone if it got into water. It was noted that in order to get rid of moisture, it should be placed in rice for some time, which, apparently, should draw out the water.
However, it turns out that this can be dangerous for the device itself, as particles of rice can get into the ports and clog them. Also, do not insert foreign objects into the openings of the phone or use an external heat source.
However, the company provided several tips on what to do if the gadget gets wet. They say that you need to tap the smartphone so that the liquid comes out of it, and then put it in a dry place for 30 minutes. After that, try to charge it.
If it did not help, you need to give it "more time" so that it dries completely. But if this did not help, then you need to contact a specialist to carry out cleaning or repairs.
We will remind that the concept of the next iPhone 16 with an unusual design was shown on the Internet.
