<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It's not unusual for cell phones to experience water damage, and many people immediately assume to dry the phone with rice.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The idea is that the rice will absorb any extra moisture, preventing water damage from destroying your phone.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">But in a recently released support page, Apple advises users to refrain from submerging their iPhones in a bowl or bag of rice.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Apple warns against using rice to dry out your wet iPhone</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Customers who place their iPhones in a bowl or bag of rice may find that Apple has slowed down the drying process and damaged the internal components of their phones. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The company specifically warns that the logic board in your iPhone might be harmed by tiny particles of wet rice getting inside.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Apple advises against reaching for the rice in the cabinet the next time your iPhone drops into the pool or the toilet and instead tries this.</p>
