    lol you know what else may damage your phone? Being full of water /s, get a grip apple. Make something useful if you must make more money, don’t sell obsolesce and failure.

      Okay but this advice applies to all phones ever… Rice is absolutely useless for fixing anything but Raja’s economy and being an excuse to eat soy sauce

        I am not proposing rice as a solution to anything aside from wetted phones.

        My post is pointing out that instead of doing something productive or new, apple is telling people not to do something that may actively prevent further damage to their phone. At best that reads like a poor use of time to me.

          may actively prevent further damage

          No, it won’t. Used to work in shops that fixed phones. In no instance, fucking ever, did rice have any effect, at all, ever. “I put my phone in rice” is followed by “that’s why you’re here, in my shop, right now” 100% of the time.

            The next time someone puts their phone in rice and it does work, do they still need to go to your store to tell you?

              Oh god yes, please come tell me. Show me what you did, shit, show me what kind of rice you used, show me everything about the process so that I may learn from it, but until I see hard evidence, especially that which cannot be easily attributed to something that isn’t stupid, that something is actually fucking happening, chortle my balls!
