Apple officially warns ``Don't plunge a submerged iPhone into rice''
by
Water is the natural enemy of smartphones, which are made up of precision electronic components, and if water gets inside through small gaps, it can cause malfunctions. If you accidentally get your smartphone wet in your daily life, a rough technique of ``sticking it in rice to quickly dry it'' is sometimes introduced as an emergency measure, but Apple has posted on the official support page. It has become a hot topic for posting a warning saying, ``Do not stick your iPhone into rice.''

Apple says that the iPhone 12 and later have IP68 grade splash-proof, water-resistant, and dust-proof performance based on IEC standard 60529 , so it won't break down immediately if it gets slightly wet. Designed.
However, if you drop your iPhone in a pool, ocean, bath, or toilet, if water gets inside, the circuits may short out or corrode, causing a malfunction. If you drop your iPhone into water, Apple says you should do the following:
1: Disconnect the charging cable from your iPhone and do not connect it until your iPhone is completely dry.
2: With the connector facing down, tap the iPhone in your hand to remove excess liquid, then place it in a well-ventilated and dry place.
3: Wait at least 30 minutes before connecting the charging cable
4: If the warning appears again, leave your iPhone in a well-ventilated, dry place for up to a day
5: If your iPhone is dry but still won't charge, try reconnecting the adapter
Particularly important is ``drying the iPhone,'' and Apple says, ``It may take up to 24 hours to completely dry.'' Therefore, a technique often introduced to dry the iPhone quickly and thoroughly is to ``place the iPhone in a rice bin or rice bag and seal it.''
However, Apple says, ``Do not put the iPhone inside a rice bag. Then, small rice grains may damage the iPhone,'' and says that iPhone should not be placed in rice to dry.

Experts have long pointed out that ``iPhones should not be placed in rice for drying purposes.'' According to Craig Beinecke, co-founder of TekDry, a company that repairs water-damaged electronic devices, in reality, even if you put an iPhone in rice, the time it takes to completely dry it is ``just leaving it on the counter.'' It was no different from 'natural drying,' and in fact, it sometimes took longer to dry the rice if it was placed inside the rice. Beinecke also points out that dust and fine rice powder may get inside the iPhone.
In addition, specialized companies such as TekDry say that in order to dry a wet iPhone, they use a method of ``putting the iPhone in a vacuum chamber and evaporating the internal moisture at low temperatures.'' David Neumann, president of DraBox, a repair company for electronic devices that were also submerged in water, said, ``In my experience, there is a three-quarters of chance that an iPhone will be revived within 36 hours after submersion.After 36 hours, the recovery rate decreases. 'But only if you don't try to charge it or turn it on.'
