Also anywhere that drops below freezing in the winter. Coming indoors with an ice cold phone is going to cause tons of condensation. If the phone isn't sealed (or placed inside a sealed case) then water will get inside.

Wait, are you saying that till few years ago non-waterproof phones broke more or something? Because that never happened.

Phones cameras frequently were rendered useless before this, when humidity would seep in and condensation would form in the lense.
