Who’s taking showers so hot that steam comes off? A quick web search says showers should be colder than 40°, maybe up to 42.5°. Phones start thermal throttling when battery temp reaches 45°. So shower water is hotter than the recommended operating temperature of 0 °C to 35 °C, but not hotter than what the phone itself can get.

The manual says sudden changes in temperature such as the sauna may damage the water resistance.

May doesn’t mean will. Mind you that the manual also says installing unofficial apps voids your warranty. I wouldn’t be worried unless someone actually tests this and finds that it does cause harm.

Edit: Did I say something wrong? I don’t understand the downvotes

I take showers that are predominantly 95-100% hot water.

I have very oily skin and the hot water actually clears my pores and I have less breakouts this way.

so yeah…people do take showers where steam comes off. in fact, in the winter even after I dry off, my body steam will rise from my skin for a solid 5 minutes afterwards.

the real problem here is people taking their phones in the shower with them. gross. the thing covered in fecal matter, and all sorts of other germs/microbes? and then you let other people touch it? I bet your phone is likely dirtier than your toilet seat or your outdoor shoes, and you take it in the shower with you, to what, “shower” with it??

put it down. leave it on do not disturb. and enjoy a shower disconnected from the world.
