Just because the iPhone 7 is water resistant to some degree I have no desire to shower with it.
Same with my Apple Watch.

Do you Shower with your iPhone 7?

I guess you and I have this crazy notion of cleaning ourselves when in the shower. Go figure.
[doublepost=1476731562][/doublepost]I agree with the Brits on this one. Why even think of taking an electronic device into a shower, pool, ocean etc?I'm entitled to my opinion here. If you need to send a text while in the shower, you don't have time for a shower. I won't give it a rest, i'll share my opinion like anybody else, thanks.
LOL to be sincere i didn't know that, guess i learn something today, i'd never shower with an iphone though but i showered with my previous water resistant casio watch many times....the thing said water resist!
Perhaps he wants to listen to music while showering...or watch pron...perhaps some chicks pics...who knows...
It's always been a mystery to me why anyone would want to listen to music during a shower. You're, or at least I am while showering, under running water, do you even hear the music that's playing? Not to mention the acoustics, for which bathrooms are not exactly known for. I have had a sound system in my sauna once, and that was pure heaven. But a shower, never tried it so it sounds kind of odd. No pun intended, and obviously YMMV.
Well when i was a teenager and i was craving for music yes i remember taking and old stereo into the bathroom to listen music but that was all, one or two times...I guess i even tried to sing...
but you're supposed to rinse the digital crown under running water, when it becomes stuck (because of sweat) - so it probably won't hurt the watch for a long time. i've been swimming with it a few times and clean it after a workout under running water - i guess/hope it will survive more water until i want to get a newer model anyway.
as for the iphone - i expect it to survive as well as long as you don't put it direktly under the shower stream, repeatedly and for a few minutes - but why would you do that, anyway? wouldn't the touch panel not work when wet? at least my touch devices don't, when it rains on them. as even old iphones & ipad usually survive steamy bathrooms and pouring rain, i wouldn't worry too much. just clean your iphone 7 with fresh water if you've accidentially submerged it in salt or pool water. and i'd probably avoid soapy water.
Common sense says you don't let the high pressure hit the phone and when I take a shower steam isn't a problem.
So ease up on the whole "I ain't that ****ing stupid."
Yes, I do back when Samsung first introduced it with the Galaxy S5 and up to the Note 7.
It's not like everyday, sometimes I take it with me in the shower because I'm expecting a call, text or eMail. The last time I was was NFL.
It's not a hard concept to understand.
If you are too busy with texts that it means you have to disturb a shower to answer them, it's a fair chance the shower can wait until a more convenient time. I have never met anybody that needs a phone to be waterproof so they can text in the shower.
There is no text thats that urgent that you'd need to stop showering for a few seconds to answer. Unless you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company; then I'd wonder where'd you get the time to come on here to read & post.
For changing tracks there's Siri. (Who can also send texts on ur behalf)
Anytime spent doing something else besides showering is wasting water.
Strange idea. I never took my old corded house phones in the shower. I never take my cell phone in the shower.
Strangely, it seems I have always managed to spend that 5 minutes a day without a phone. I get into the shower to shave and bathe. Why would I need a phone in there?
If you need more recreational time with the Internet, perhaps do that before your shower?
Personally, bathing is not something I desire to take longer. So I don't bring recreational devices into the shower.

I don't even take my 300m diving watch into the shower.
As for my phone, the nearest it gets to the shower is when I'm sat on the khazi...

Oh, I get it. You're one of those people who thinks anything that you don't agree with is stupid. I see now.
Um, yes.
Exactly my thoughts on reading this - utterly extraordinary - thread title with no small stupefaction.
