Apple advises users how to disinfect iPhone

In connection with the current epidemic of a new type of coronavirus, people are beginning to show an increased interest in hygiene, cleaning and disinfection, among other things. And not only with your hands, but also with your surroundings or electronic devices. The Apple company normally issues instructions regarding the cleaning of its devices, but due to the current situation, these recommendations have been enriched with instructions regarding the disinfection of its products with various solutions and other means.

According to the latest document published by Apple on its website, users can safely use disinfectant wipes soaked in isopropyl alcohol to disinfect their Apple products. So if, despite the current lack of means of this type on the market, you managed to get such wipes, you can use them to clean your Apple devices as well. In the aforementioned document, Apple assures users that wipes soaked in a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution should not harm your iPhone. For example, The Wall Street Journal editor Joanna Stern tried it in practice, who wiped the iPhone 1095 screen a total of 8 times with these wipes to reliably simulate cleaning an iPhone over the course of three years. At the end of this experiment, it turned out that the oleophobic layer of the smartphone display did not suffer from this cleaning.

Apple in your instructions urges users to take the utmost care when sanitizing their Apple products – they should avoid applying any liquids directly to the surface of the device, and instead first apply the cleaner to a lint-free cloth and gently wipe their device with the damp cloth. When cleaning, users should not use paper towels and materials that could scratch the surface of their device. Before cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect all cables and peripherals, and be especially careful around openings, speakers and ports. In the event that moisture does get into an Apple device, users should contact Apple Support immediately. Users should not apply any sprays to their Apple devices and should avoid using cleaning products containing hydrogen peroxide.
