Apple allowed to disinfect iPhone: how to do it

Scientists from the UK have proven that there is more dirt on the surface of smartphones than on the seat

toilet and brush. This topic is especially relevant now, when the coronavirus is raging in the world. Therefore, Apple allowed users to disinfect their iPhone and told them how to do it correctly.

Instructions for use

Apple is usually against cleaning gadgets, but under the pressure of the epidemic it gave in. Now recommendations for processing smartphones and other devices can be found on the official website in the support section.

So the company is still against aerosols,ammonia, window cleaners, hydrogen peroxide, bleach and compressed air and suggests using Clorox wipes or a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol solution to disinfect.

In the latter case, the alcohol must be applied to a lint-free cloth so that it is not completely wet, but damp.
Use a napkin or cloth to wipe the display, ends,camera and the back panel of the smartphone. But avoid speakers, microphone and other openings - moisture can get into them, and such damage is not covered by the warranty.

If you can’t wipe off the dirt, you can use a soap solution. Dampen the cloth with it and wipe the body, also avoiding the holes. You should not hold your smartphone under running water.

You can also disinfect cases, but only silicone or plastic ones. Cleaning natural materials can lead to changes in their structure and color.
