Don't dry your iPhone in a bag of rice, says Apple

If your iPhone gets wet don't dry it in a bag of rice, Apple has advised. The firm said people should instead gently tap out any liquid, with the phone connector facing down, then leave it to dry out. As well as avoiding bags of rice, it also advises against drying a wet phone using an "External heat source or compressed air", meaning radiators and hairdryers should be avoided. Nor, it suggests, should users try inserting "a foreign object, such as a cotton swab or a paper towel" into their phone. All Apple devices from the iPhone 12 onwards are able to withstand immersion up to a depth of six metres, for up to half an hour.
