smartphone in rice
Apple says putting your wet iPhone in rice can actually do more damage to the device.
  • Is your iPhone wet? If so, don't put it in a bowl of rice. 
  • Apple's new support doc says rice can actually cause more damage to your iPhone. 
  • The company also discourages drying your damp iPhone with a blow dryer or paper towel. 

Have you ever been told to put your iPhone in a bowl of rice after accidentally dropping it in the sink or — even worse — toilet? You might just be making the problem worse.
