What does Apple recommend if your iPhone gets wet?

In a twist that might disappoint fans of home remedies everywhere, Apple has made it clear that the popular method of using rice to dry out a wet iPhone is more folklore than fact. The tech giant warns that this well-intended but misguided solution can lead to rice particles harming the device. Instead, Apple advocates a more gentle approach: unplugging the device, tapping it gently to shake off excess liquid, and then letting it air dry in an environment with a decent airflow.
