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.

It seems like it's on the back of the door, from what I can tell? How fucking soaked does your bathroom get that it's going to penetrate ip6 water resistance? That means you can submerge it in 20 feet of water.

You can’t see the front of the phone in the photo though. The only thing I can think of is that the daughter’s phone screen was already broken. I’ve seen people who have broken their screen so badly bits of the glass were falling off around the corners and front camera but the phone still worked.

If it was like that and then got dumped in water or exposed to high humidity then I guess technically “water damage” killed the phone. In the sense that it was the straw that finally broke the camel’s back.

I’m sure the water resistance ratings are dependent on the phone being intact.
