I am really surprised by all the "strange" home remedies, I would, for example, never even think of dripping alcohol into the Lightning port and putting it on a paper towel where the paper "sticks into the port" I don't think is very recommended by Apple. They always warn not to stick anything into the port. Yes, you can sometimes get lint into the port if you always carry the phone in your pocket, but there are small pins in that port so unless you can see exactly what you are doing sticking something in there is probably not a good idea and when an Apple Geneous once cleaned out my port in the Apple Store all he used was compressed air. Besides blowing into the port a few times using compressed air is probably your best option to get any residual water out of there and once that is done any remaining moisture will dry in short order and without using the heat from a hairdryer or anything else.

I was concerned about moisture getting inside the case, but could not get it off. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Holly Sent: Monday, April 26, 2021 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone Lisa: Here is a link to give you all the info about dropping your iPhone in water.
