Someone also asked how a desiccant works. There are tons of hits with
Google, but one is http://www.roycopackaging.com/public/edu_desiccant.asp
Basically, desiccants absorb water and water vapor, so they will act
like a sponge if they come into contact with the water, and they'll
lower the humidity in the air around them. This is why you want to
either emerge your iPhone in a bowl of dry rice or toss it in an air
tight container with the dry rice. The dry rice will act as a desiccant,
and remove the water vapor from the air, lower the humidity and cause
any water trapped in your iPhone to evaporate more quickly, just as
water evaporates more quickly in an arid desert than it does in a humid
tropical rain forest.
