Hi Alice,

Sorry if I misled. I didn't mean to replace the sim, just to remove it from the phone first before placing the phone in the rice. I wanted to let the sim air dry while the phone was in the rice.
My sons sim worked fine after taking the phone out of the rice and replacing it.

Yes, rice is the answer. Just Me: I hadn't thought of replacing the sim. Good advice. Although I ask, why not turn the phone on before replacing the sim? The old sim may work fine.

Most printed circuit boards are rinsed in water to get rid of flux. With a little bit of care, Apple could design a drown proof iPhone that could take dunking in anything but an extended stay in seawater.

If it weren't for the _____ moisture sensors, I'd advise anybody in this predicament to rush to the store, buy a gallon of distilled water (not drinking - DISTILLED), and soak the phone in that first. Then dry out. But --- that would activate the moisture sensors for sure. I'm not sure if they do something else, like activate an irreversible handle in the phone software.

The biggest problem with liquid damage and an iPHone is you cant remove the power supply. AKA battery.

If you were able to take the battery out immediately after it got wet that also reduces the risk of damage / shorting / corrosion in the unit. Its because the battery is supplying power that the devices will go bad if not properly taken care of.

I am glad they at least gave the 4 a better design to be able to access the battery a lot quicker.
