I dropped my iPhone 4s in water! Read online to put it in a bag of rice to help dry it out. Is Minute Rice okay, or is regular rice better? This is a serious question, really. It is my first iPhone and I have only had it for a month, and I am very worried

The general advice when doing a search is the iPhone should be placed in plastic bag or zip lock bag of uncooked rice for approximately 5 days until it is completely dry. Resist the temptation to turn the iPhone on for at least 5 days.

Regular rice is better; silica gel is best (that's those little packets that come with some electronics boxes). If you want to try silica gel buy it fresh; don't reuse the little packets because they have already absorbed water.

Minute rice is already hydrated, which is why it won't work well.

Good luck! This will not guarantee fixing it, but it's the best chance.

I did it with two iphone they both turned on after 3 days. Make sure to leave it alone for a while and dont touch it. and put it near a lightbulb that gets hot to make the rice capture the humidty better!!
