Apple Officially Warns Users to Stop Putting Wet iPhones in Rice | The company said the popular remedy could cause “small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.”::The company said the popular remedy could cause “small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.”
Meanwhile my Samsung has been dropped in the bath more times than I can count and gives zero fucks.
Maybe Apple just make bad phones?
There’s so many reasons to hate on Apple and iPhones, but build quality simply isn’t one of them.
iPhones are IP68, which means they can be immersed in serveral meters of water for up to 30 minutes.
If they are waterproof how does rice damage them? Pretty sure rice chunks are larger than water.
So the IP68 ratings are on a scale of 1-9 for dust and water respectively.
So the 6 is for dust and particulates and the 8 is for water.
With a rating of IP68, which is an industry standard, it is actually better at keeping out water then dust and particulates. I have no idea what the deal is with rice particulate, but it’s obviously not great to get into charging ports and the like.
It’s worth noting that Samsung shares the exact same rating and would also struggle with a bowl of rice.
