    What music group or artist would you choose to attend their concert?????

    You could save those silica packs found in various purchased items that are meant to prevent mold/mildew.

    ???? is lying.
    They want everybody to spend 1k+ on a new phone instead of trying to save their phone.

    Even technology experts suggests to put your electronic devices in a bag of rice for in order to try to save it.

    *Edit*
    Thought that all of the IPhones in the last 7+ years are water and dust proof (or resistance at the very least).

    Just put it in the fridge. It has an air condenser that removes moisture and it isn’t filled with particulate …. Because it’s a bunch of grains of food you’ve buried your phone in.

      It actually leaves starch behind

    Don’t need to put dry the iPhone these days. They heat up and dry itself ???? Can even be used as a hand warmer in winter and burner in summer

    Aren’t iPhones IP68 rating? If tiny rice particles can get in, what stopping tiny water drops?!

      Lol I think you got it backwards. This is for the old iPhones. Think about it, if you got water in your IP68 rated iphone, you got a different problem on your hands.

    If you trust the temperature control in your oven or one of your other devices, you could just put it in at 120° which is like setting it in your car and it will dry out.

    Apple: don’t, so we can sell you an other one, much saver (for our bankaccount)

    I thought its waterproof????. But rice works

    They just want you to use AppleCare so that way they can make money

    Rice flower is not good inside your phone. Silica gel packs are much better but really iPhone is pretty water resistant.
