On Monday I had an appointment at the Genius Bar of La Maquinista's Apple Store (Barcelona) to replace my father's iPhone battery. Oscar, the friendly technician who was there for me (from here I text him), the first thing he did was spread the chamois on the table and said "put the iPhone here."
He then spit it out by rubbing the alcohol and carefully removing it with a disc before wiping it. While I was doing it, I asked him because Coronavirus said yes. "I also refused to hand when you came up with the same thing," he said. In some cases it may have bothered me, but right now it's understandable and almost necessary, on both sides.
With the increase of Covid-19 all the defense mechanisms are few. You never wash your hands as before, and it's a good time to disable your keyboard and the electronic devices you use (or use) daily.
Apple knows what time it is, and if before it did not recommend using a virus wipe on its devices, it has now changed its mind and tells us it is a good measure to prevent infection. When I said that, I said Diego.
Coronavirus has been shown to survive in an invisible environment such as plastic, glass and aluminum for up to nine days. So the company, which is always reluctant to use chemicals to clean its equipment, has changed its mind.
New guidelines for cleaning Apple devices
Apple's cleanup support page provides specific guidelines for each device. For years, those from Copertino have banned the use of cleaning and disinfecting products, arguing that they could also damage the anti-fingerprint for self-defense and staining.
Apple now recommends the use of disinfectants. To do this, you recommend using either 70% alcohol isopropyl or a Clorox disinfectant. gently clean the stiff arms.
It does not recommend the use of bleach and that the moisture in any of the holes in the device is safe. It is also forbidden to dip a liquid metal into a cleaner.
