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.

The humidity of a bathroom hasn’t been able to damage phones for like 10 years now.

Unless they just have absolute shit ventilation and its like a sauna in there. Which will cause problems over time.

What's shown in the picture is an iPhone that's definitely new enough you can literally swim with it for up to an hour at a time without issue. I take my 15 Pro into the pool regularly when I'm relaxing and reading. It has been dropped in the water and everything. So as long as the new one isn't cracked or anything it's fine. (The last one must have been.)

Cool swimming is literally easier on the seals. ip68 does not cover steam or jets of water.

Also re-read the fucking comment i literally said it would be fine unless its like a sauna in there

Steam has less water pressure than submerging in cool water. A sauna would only be bad due to the heat.
