According to Apple, it is NOT a good idea to dry out an iPhone that has gotten dunked in liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Here is what to do instead [taken from a MacWorld article, linked below]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Tap your iPhone gently against your hand with the connector facing down to remove excess liquid. Leave your iPhone in a dry area with some airflow. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. After at least 30 minutes, try charging with a Lightning or USB-C cable or connecting an accessory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If you see the alert again, there is still liquid in the connector or under the pins of your cable. Leave your iPhone in a dry area with some airflow for up to a day. You can try again to charge or connect an accessory throughout this period. It might take up to 24 hours to fully dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. If your phone has dried out but still isn\u2019t charging, unplug the cable from the adapter and unplug the adapter from the wall (if possible) and then connect them again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Other things NOT to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Using a heat source to speed up the drying [like a hair dryer. BAD idea!]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Using compressed air [can cause damage to the components]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Sticking a Q-tip into the charging port to try and dry things out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      WAIT FOR THINGS TO DRY OUT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While you are waiting, MDS Tech suggests you go outside and notice the trees and bids…. and perhaps go spend some quality time with your family, sans devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
