I've had this same phone since Covid, and bring it into the shower every day for podcasts, music, or YouTube videos.
Still works great! It might need charge in the evening after heavy use, but what 6 year old phone wouldn't?

Who is doing this? Especially when there are waterproof Bluetooth speakers for under $50. Far lower risk there.
Interesting. I got a cheap Xiaomi smartwatch a few months ago and the manual straight up says that the water resistance is good enough for basic swimming but don't bring it into a sauna or hot shower for this exact reason. (I avoid submerging it in general because I bought it secondhand and if it was refurbished that can mess up the waterproofing.)

who the fuck would
Yeah but how else can I exchange shower nudes ?
Polaroids and postal mail, like god intended!
shower no, bath yes
Why don't these shower-phone people just get a much cheaper and more durable waterproof speaker? I get wanting music or a podcast or whatever but I can't imagine how I would watch a video with all the soap and water everywhere
