Lenses for a laser is better to clean with 99%iso due to it barely leaving any residue when evaporating, but even that is a compromise.
What you really want is pure (“100%”) alcohol/ethanol to leave even less of trace.
Unfortunately most people or companies can’t buy pure ethanol due to the nature of alcohol laws, so a substitute like isopropyl is used instead since its usually "good enough "
You might be, OP is not. Neither am I. We’re talking about cleaning a phone, the outside of the phone, not a bare circuit board. Phones are almost universally water resistant, so being worried about shorting electronics is silly.
Yes it is. I have literally never heard of anyone ever breaking their phone by cleaning it 70% alcohol. And I said water resistant already, so I’m not sure why you’re implying I said water proof
Because based on the description, the original poster is asking how to clean out the ports. Not wipe them down on a surface level. Clean them as in most likely the device is not charging properly. This requires flooding the port.
Actually lower percentages work better, if we’re talking about disinfecting
We’re usually not. It’s to dissolve gunk. And on the topic of iso, 99% is pretty much not 99% after opening the container
Really? we had 99 percent to clean a laser machine lens at a leather shop. I never really thought about it.

We’re talking about not shorting the electronics 3%water won’t normally make sparks

No it’s not, those ports are not all sealed. Most are water resistant not water proof.
