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

Why in the world would I bring the phone in the shower?

I do it all the time. Before smart phones were a thing I had a water proof shower radio. Now I use the phone for the same thing. Mostly listening to news or a podcast or something. Sometime it’s a Nebula video, but in the shower I’d just be listening to it like a podcast anyway. Before phones were waterproof I used to use a waterproof Bluetooth speaker.

I’ve never had steam cause a problem, but then again my showers aren’t long, aren’t very hot and my phone is kept pretty high up and out of the way.

So, why… oh, forget it.

Everyone uses their phones while eating or pooping. Those activities don’t take long either. I choose to listen to something while showering.

It’s ok if you don’t understand it or do it yourself, but some people take their phone into the shower. It is a thing.
