^^^That piece of glass over your touchscreen is what keeps it ticking despite taking a lickin', whereas those horrible flip phones of yesteryear are full of gaps and crevices for the slightest drop of moisture to mess up the internals.
Just a quick tip for those accidents where liquids are concerned:
- Immediately turn it off.
-Turn the gadget/notebook upside down.
- Don't rinse with water if you've spilt juice, beer, coffee, etc., just clean the surface with a damp cloth/paper towel.
- If possible, cover the item in a bowl/bag of uncooked rice (never cooked--d'uh!). The dry rice will absorb the moisture out.
- If no rice available, leave the item upside down on a towel for 24 hrs before turning it back on.
- If it does turn on, carefully monitor to make sure it's working fine. Sometimes, it'll be fine for a week than it will start to not work.
- If you're unsure, take it to Apple and see a Genius. I hate going to the Apple store because most of the people there don't know what they're doing-- even the so-called geniuses, who never likes it when I correct them. Their Customer Service are not very knowledgable beyond the general info that may be found on the Apple site.
Apple computers were so awesome back in the day, I don't like what they've become now. They release products in a rush all the time now before working out all the bugs/kinks, with new cash-grab revisions every several months that have only the slightest upgrades. I miss the Apple of 10 years ago-- they never crapped out on you like they do now.
End of rant.
