My phone was $800, I think. Of COURSE I'm not taking it in to the shower!! 😧 I don’t even take it into the bathroom.

I’ll keep that in mind in case I ever shower inside a boiler.

Guess I'll go back to putting it in a sandwich bag lol

Won't help with the heat but at least with the rest

I have taken my phones into showers since before waterproof phones were a thing and I never had an issue. I change mine every couple of years so maybe I haven’t used them long enough to notice any issues.

I take mine into the shower occasionally. Generally just to finish a reply or finish reading something. My phone is 4 years old and is 100% fine.
