Now more than ever (and that's always been important) we must be very careful about the cleanliness and cleanliness of our technological devices. Due to their type of use, they are devices that receive greater exposure to what users are dealing with. We cough, talk, whisper, and all of this despite the fact that they are always exposed to our hands, is one of the most common ways of transmitting the coronavirus.
Because of this, the media PhoneArena published last week the virus's endemic areas in different locations depending on its properties, as reported by The New England Journal of Medicine. The times are as follows:
-
Glass, steel and ceramic: 2-3 days.
-
Plastics: up to 5 days.
-
Wood: up to 4 days.
-
Latex: less than 8 hours.
-
Aluminum: from 2 to 8 hours.
-
Steel: average up to 13 hours.
-
Polypropylene: 16 hours.
Looking at the materials used in the list, we can quickly identify two marking the design of Cupertino devices; Glass and aluminum. While the viral load in aluminum is much lower than those shown, the glass constant lasts for 2-3 days.

It is clear from these numbers that It is very important to disinfect our devices daily (if more often)
Apple has a page where it reports how to properly dump its devices, here it is compatible with the iPhone, and works equally with the iPad because its features are very similar. As mentioned, the use of 70% isopropyl alcohol is the most effective cleaning method
These are days of separation our devices will still be used more than usual, and to keep them in good shape and to keep their users safe, the best thing is to take advantage of the limited time we have at home and use them to disinfect them regularly. It is everyone's job to safely use our devices to keep us healthy.
