Phone manufacturers are pretty direct in their guidance on this one.

    Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?

          you don’t need new phones, and I personally have purchased new phones (horrible carrier locked smartphones) for about $20 about 3 years ago.

            Yes, I am sure you $20 smartphone you bought 3 years ago is functioning super well. I think you faily to realize that more and more people only utilize their phone as their computing device. No desktop, no laptop, just a phone.

              the $20 phone I got is almost completely unusable as a phone, but for browsing social media/playing music/readin books in the shower it would probably last a few weeks while being cheap enough to not care about replacing it.
