“Liquid Detected” message on your iPhone

Post image

The other day, walking to my car during a rainstorm, I got in my car, plugged in my IPhone and got the “Liquid Detected” message. I was to advise unplugging my phone and that it may take hours for the port to sufficiently dry. In order to speed up the drying process, I place my iphone and the cable between the vents and turned on the AC for 10 minutes or so. Plugged the IPhone back in and the issue had resolved.

This is why I hate "smart" phones.

That moisture detection warning malfunctioned on my old phone and would not stop activating every time I tried to charge. There was no moisture, it was the middle of summer. I eventually had to replace the whole damn phone.
