Apple suggests cleaning the iphone with coronavirus disinfectants

There is no denying that the Coronavirus outbreak is going to be detrimental to the technology industry as a whole. With many events canceled and many companies withdrawing from the great technological events that were going to take place this year. In the midst of all this, Apple is changing some of its recommendations regarding the cleaning of its iPhone phones, which are a consequence of the virus.

Using disinfectant on your iPhones is a good idea, Apple suggests.

In the past, Apple's guidelines have been against the use of cleaners, and the warning that Apple gave has been kept, since the use of chemicals can damage the oleophobic coating on screens. Apple still has warnings against the use of sprays, as well as ammonia, window cleaners, and some other chemicals.

However, Apple has updated its guidelines and now suggests that disinfectants can be used to clean their smartphones. Below is an excerpt from the official guide.

These updated guidelines are certainly good, because the Coronavirus is currently spreading all over the world, and considering that mobile phones are in constant use, it is best that we keep them as clean as possible.

At the time of writing this article, we are not entirely sure how long the virus lasts on a surface, but according to studies, the virus can last for two to nine days on a surface.
