Yeah. On AT&T they only get EDGE there and with Verizon you're on the very cusp of their 3G.

Judging by the fact that this post of yours received two negative ratings as of this writing, I'm guessing the masses fail to understand what the word "politeness" means.
Apparently they don't know how to look it up either

Rather, we just don't care.
What impresses (scares) me is that OP can't be separated form his phone for the half hour or so to relax in a sauna.
Have we come to the point that we can't be out of communication ever? Even for a few minutes?
Something not right about that...

I think this should be the rule for the whole planet...
EDIT> Unless this is what you meant by "you"....
Sorry... God I definitely need to pass the test..
EDIT: Ignore this post. I apparently blanked over the 'dry sauna' part of the original post.
I was told by an Apple genius that the 'liquid-sensing strips' are designed to not be triggered by (or susceptible to, rather) condensation.
From personal experience, I've had my iPhone playing music in my bathroom while I shower. I've got a shower/bath and the room steams up quite a lot, but it's never activated the liquid sensors or affected the phone in any way. It's maybe not quite as steamy as a sauna, though.

I don't think it really effects phones. The explanation I've heard for the altitude limits on electronic devices only applies to ones with Hard Drives. Basically when you get too high the lower air pressure can cause them to crash.
I think you are referring to the steam room. A sauna is a room where it's hot without the steam.
Oh yeah... This is why I shouldn't be on the forums after midnight. Sorry about that.
Actually, saunas can either be with or without steam. I failed to take in that this thread is about a dry sauna, though.
I take mine into the sauna all the time. I had it give me a high temp warning once but just had to let it cool down for a few minutes and it was fine. I even take it in the steam room without any problems. Prob not good for the battery to be subjected to high heat like that but oh well, here we are more than a year later the phones prob been in the steam room or sauna around 100 times and its still fine.
Say you go in an airplane and fly up 6,000 ft. The more you go up in the air the more pressure (gravity) goes on you (just like 1 cubic foot of water on top of you is equal to about 0.5 tons of physical pressure on you). So if you bring an iPhone more than 10,000 ft in the air then chances are it my explode because of the pressure!
watch out the bezel.. may burn you when you come out
why don't you let us know whatst the answer??

There are people with jobs that require them to be available by phone, maybe including the OP.
I hope you don't try reselling your phone. Your likely to have every sensor tripped.
A plane is pressurized to normal limits. Similar to being on the ground. This is why your phone can operate normally in a plane.
As previous posters have said, air pressure decreases as you climb in altitude. Airplanes designed to go above 10,000ft (the altitude above which it is hard for human to get enough oxygen) are pressurized to near ground-level air pressure.
And the nerd in me can't help but to point out that gravity decreases with distance (specifically, decreases proportionally with the square of the distance between two objects).
Wait....did I just feed a troll? It suddenly horrified me that quoted post even needed correction.

I'm not doubting your claim but I'd advise against that or at least advise against given it as advice.
Steam rooms exceed apples tech spec of humidity level which is 95% non condensing. Carry it in from a cool environment could call the humidity to condense as well which Apple recommends against at any level.
This is a pretty old thread btw lol. Going on 3 years.
