Given that the iPhone is rated IP68, or impervious to dust and small particles, this seems like grounds for a return claim (or lawsuit in the states, idk).

There are humidity indicators even outside the IP rated parts. If the technician finds a colored one you're out of warranty by default. Source: started out at a store with repair shop.

I'm referring to the rice grains, not the water.

Yea, but usually your device was in touch with liquid before you put in rice.
