Stop bringing your phone in the shower: How steam can ruin 'waterproof' phones

I’ve been doing this for around 10 years, have very hot, steamy showers and never had a problem 🤷

Started with the Samsung Galaxy S7, one of the earlier water resistant phones, and I’ve been doing it ever since, across maybe 5 phones, almost every day. You’ll be fine. If you are worried about drops, just use a decent case.

As for why, others have said, it’s to keep listening to my YouTube video essays and similar. Stuff that doesn’t need to be seen to be appreciated.

10 years, 5 phones

So you only keep your phones 2 years, it’s possible you simply don’t have them long enough to accumulate a noticible amount of steam damage.
