iPhone typical water damage

[err404]

I still think that if you possibly have your phone in the bathroom while taking a shower, it's going to be humid and it will set off a sensor, regardless of the "engineering" of the water sensor.

The humidity is high enough in bathroom while running a hot shower for condensation to build up on your phone. Condensation is no longer vapor, it's liquid water and it can damage your phone. Sufficient condensation build up tripping the sensor is not a mistake; it's by design.

Only if the phone is significantly cooler than the ambient air and in most cases where someone carries the phone in a pocket and it is warm from being near the body, this won't be an issue.
