Apple Officially Warns Users to Stop Putting Wet iPhones in Rice | The company said the popular remedy could cause “small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.”::The company said the popular remedy could cause “small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.”
Given that the iPhone is rated IP68, or impervious to dust and small particles, this seems like grounds for a return claim (or lawsuit in the states, idk).
The charging port is very pervious to dust and small particles.
…they shouldn’t get into the phone innards, but shove a USBC in there with them and they can definitely ruin the charging port.
There are humidity indicators even outside the IP rated parts. If the technician finds a colored one you’re out of warranty by default. Source: started out at a store with repair shop.
I’m referring to the rice grains, not the water.
Yea, but usually your device was in touch with liquid before you put in rice.
Technically you could just remove those humidity indicators yourself before taking the phone to service, but they’d still find any water damage inside the phone if present - just more time consuming for the tech
