Other Can I used iPhone in sauna at the gym?

Personally, i wouldnt take the risk, those things are very hot and can get very humid.

I wouldn't. Extreme temperatures and technology do not mix well.

If you want to be cafeful, I would suggest putting it in some sort of container to keep the heat out. Perhaps a zippable water container, or something like that. The heat shouldn't do too much to the phone. Normally, I just take the phone and leave it by my side.

I have a feeling it'll tip off the humidity sensors...

Hey, I would like to take my iPhone with me swimming, anyone think that would be OK? Just kidding. Anyways, I have seen waterproof cases and headphones, maybe that could work for you in the sauna.

If you want music in a SAUNA eek I'd recommend getting a Nano or a shuffle.

I knew this girl once who would zip lock (or something) her cordless phone so she could use it in the shower.

I remember liking her, and still being like "Hm, that's pretty weird" when she told me that.

The noncondensing is the fail part. You get condensing in a sauna.

Please tell me you're not one of those guys who go and sit in the sauna at the gym for 30 minutes and then say they've just done a great workout.



Also: Cameras in the saunas/changing rooms? Hmmmmmm.

You also get condensing when you live next to a body of water, go for a walk outdoors in winter (but not necessarily below -20C) temperatures, and then step into a heated house. If that voids the warranty, then the warranty isn't worth the time it takes to read it.

Doesn't a nano have a screen? I wouldn't do that. Now a shuffle should be ok since it has no screen or moving parts

The high temperatures/humidity with electronics do not mix well.. I wouldn't recommend bringing anything electronic into a sauna.

Also, you may set the humidity sensors off on your iPhone if brought in the sauna. (voiding your warranty)

Probably not. But it will ruin your sauna session.

Taking your phone with you would be just as stupid as wearing a swimsuit.

The image below should bring back memories!

Can? Yes.

Should? Depends on your wallet and propensity to purchase a new phone if it’s damaged.

A nine-year old thread? Really?

mod note

I think this thread ran it's course a long time ago and leaving it open after the recent necro will cause confusion so I've closed it
