Do not put in rice. Let it dry naturally over the next few days and charge wirelessly to avoid using USB-C. Monitor changing for any irregularities in device temperature and/or notifications.


If your device won’t charge, and in the US, please call  1-800-MY-APPLE, or outside the US, consult the support articles below. In Canada, call 1-800-263-3394.
