Hello anmadrid,


Thanks for posting your question. We understand you have a question about disinfecting your iPhone.


This resource provides the cleaning tips suggested by Apple: Cleaning your iPhone


"Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my iPhone?

Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your iPhone. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any openings, and don't submerge your iPhone in any cleaning agents."


The resource above does not cover UV light, but it does have a few other helpful tips that vary by model. Your best bet is to follow the guidance published in that resource.


Hope this helps.


Take care.
