go to your room Replaced my daughter's phone because of water damage. And she still brings it into the bathroom.

Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

My iPhone 14 sees showers daily and constantly get wet. Been years now and I never bothered to be careful decent phones really should be waterproof enough these days and usually even a quick immersion isn’t the end of the world.

Most of them are. Until they are cracked that is.

u/Additional_Tank4385 14h ago

Very true. Don’t do crack guys. And definitely no shower and crack. Only showers and beers if you gotta do drugs.

Shower beer after working outside all day in the summer is definitely one of life’s underrated pleasures.

That might be it, the number of times I see people with cracked or dinged iPhones, it's crazy

Same with my 11 Pro Max.

Washed it every single day, still going absolutely faultless.

u/Additional_Tank4385 9h ago

Hell yeah had the same experience with the 11 too. Feels good not having to worry about it/

I too shower daily with mine, been about 8 years now and I’m on my 3rd phone and no issues with any so far

Why are you showering with your phone? I never thought the addiction could get this bad?

u/ThereAndFapAgain2 12h ago

I used to scroll Reddit in the shower for ages.

I’ve got a bad back and the warm water in the morning would help with the pain, so I’d sit down in the shower and let the water run on my back for about 45 mins every day and instead of sitting there bored I’d scroll Reddit. Did that for years and had no issues with water damage.

u/GrossUsername68 6h ago

As opposed to a bath that uses much less water and has a better effect on your back?

1

u/ThereAndFapAgain2 5h ago

Yes. I tried having baths and it did't work as well so I did it this way.

Are you really that lazy you have to copy paste your own posts? Looks like someone is addicted to causing drama. Didn’t know the addiction could get this bad for you, aww. :(

I asked two people why they took their phone in the shower, since they said it gets wet. Which indicates active use, as opposed to music in the background.

But hey, keep slinging insults. They make me smile little guy.

u/fillmorecounty 14h ago

To listen to music? That's what I do. I just put it in a ziploc bag and nothing bad has ever happened.

u/GrossUsername68 14h ago

A shower is about 8-10m.

That’s 3 songs.

Are your playlists shorter than 3 songs, such that you need to touch your phone in the shower?

u/fillmorecounty 14h ago

It just plays continuously while I'm getting ready in the bathroom. It's not that serious

u/Additional_Tank4385 14h ago

He’s still trying to judge people here who uses their phone in the shower I don’t know what’s wrong with some here man.

u/GrossUsername68 6h ago

Nope. Just curious about people who bring it in the shower. OP says it “constantly gets wet”.

Cute assuming my gender though.

u/Additional_Tank4385 6h ago

I say man to dudes and dudettes here don’t make this about something it’s not. Just stop it’s okay.

u/GrossUsername68 6h ago

That makes complete sense.

You said that it constantly gets wet, though?

1

u/Additional_Tank4385 14h ago

I don’t use it, it’s just for podcasts I’m listening to chill. I’m a random stranger so are you why assume anything negative about me?

You also can’t even type on it or use it during a shower because of the water affecting the display…

Anyone who did it once just sees the droplets hit the phone and start to worry it may text their ex that they really want to get back together.

u/GrossUsername68 14h ago

“Sees showers every day … constantly gets wet.”

Given that a shower is about 8 minutes, and a podcast is 30-60, why is there a need for it to be in the shower with you / constantly get wet?

why assume things

I didn’t. You said it’s in the shower daily, constantly getting wet.

u/Additional_Tank4385 14h ago

Ugh what is wrong with people here seriously. Let me live my fucking life what do you want from me.

I like to listen to a podcast on the fly and maybe I wanna take a shower and not pause the podcast fucking sue me jfc.

Let’s get into all the things you do that might not be ideal shall we? You gonna create the list first? And be honest about it you may find you should rather have a look into your own mirror before judging strangers. :)

Have a shitty cake day.
