Brilliant! I use the iPhone for my purposes because it’s waterproof. At least the newer models are. Have dropped it in deep water with no ill effects.

My understanding was that both heat and steam are bad for waterproof electronics, just be careful mate

Edit: Aww HN strips emoji, should have seen that coming lol

I was warned of this one (like the parent comment I use my phone in the shower for notes).

Not had a problem in 2 years* of daily showers. I realise I'm taking a bit of a risk but nothing bad has happened so far. Could always just be luck of course. iPhone 11 for reference.

* Almost exactly, ha. 24mo contract expired last week. Sod's Law says my next shower will destroy the phone having written this down.
