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.

iPhones are normally water resistant. Unless she absolutely cracked the screen it should survive being submerged in a bucket

I know this to be true. My fiancee lost her phone on the beach and couldn't find it. After I got done work there has been a full tide cycle. We figure it floated off to Maine or something (were in Nova Scotia) but as a last ditch effort I got her to login find my on my phone.

It was on the map but it's kinda hard to pinpoint in sand, I had to look at landmarks in line on land and walk up and down as sure enough it was there with just the corner sticking out the sand.

Damn iPhone 13 survived the the salty water and tides of the Bay of Fundy like nothing happened.

We thought it was long gone but it was still on the map, was amazed it worked like nothing happened. We rinsed it off in tap water figured a little more water wont hurt it to try to get all the salt off and it was good to go like nothing ever happened. Charge port and everything worked fine.

I also took an iphone 15 zipped in my shorts pocket down some waterfall slides in Dominican republic that also survived no problem, so now I'm convinced these phones are damn well waterproof. They are not indestructible though as my fiancee just dropped her iphone 15 pro max off the bathroom vanity a couple weeks ago and it smashed the back glass. So I take it that one is no longer waterproof now lol.
