Apple Hardware VP Rejects Rice Method for Wet iPhones

People often say that a wet iPhone should be placed in dry rice.

Apple hardware executive Tom Marieb disagrees with that advice.

He said rice should not be used to help a wet iPhone lose water.

Marieb told people to stop putting their phones in rice.

He said the phone can get wet and that users should not worry about the rice method.

His comment was made during an interview.

Instead of using rice for a phone, he jokingly said people should eat it.

The report does not describe another repair method.
