Sure. As long as you understand in doing so, you will have NO WARRANTY should running it under water result in a damaged phone. And then you'll shell out $$Hundreds of dollars to replace your phone. I won't take your advice and I surely hope others don't take your advice.

In other words, Apple explicitly recommends against dunking your iPhone underwater. iPhone water resistance seems to be a last line of defense. While the iPhone has been tested to withstand an IP67 or IP68 water rating, it’s not worth intentionally getting your iPhone wet. Other factors can also affect the water-resistance.

Running 2 sec tapnwater is hardly dunking, more like splashing :)

Apple has good quality, I trust them for that. After battery change I would not use it even on a rainy day though.

I have a brand new iPhone 12 Pro and my power button was hard to push since I got it, and has been failing similarly to others. I thought not clicking was a feature but clicking the power button got unreliable .. like others have reported (500 times). You seem like a connected Apple guy .. maybe you can get Apple's attention to FIX this clear quality control problem?

*** I just want to know how I can clean the power button, and whether a damp cloth or alcohol wipe are recommended.

Frankly I don't want to go to the Apple Store, the Genius lost some of my data on my previous phone care assistance (said all the data had been transferred but it hadn't), and malls have too many people.

Same issue here, iPhone 12 Pro.

Probably stuck because of dust, just run some water to the stuck button and it will back to normal, IPhone 12 series has IP68 rating so it’ll be fine.

Is the power button supposed to click?

WTH?! This is Apple’s mistake, they should do smth about this... at the end we are paying so much money for the broken phone! anyway will contact them today...

My 12 pro does the same thing! Now 2 months completely non functional

Me too and portrait mode is screwed

8 in IP standard means Immersion, 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) or more depth. Your 80k is worthless if you can't read. Have a another potato.

I don't want my whole phone replaced by a refurbished phone when they could just swap the button... is there really no way yo just replace the button
