“Pocket sweat”?

Holy fucking hell! How sweaty are you, dude?

I had the Genius Bar decline a warranty repair because I carried the phone in my front pocket and guys are damp there. Yes, warranty declined because of sweaty balls.

Moisture indicators were triggered, likely because I have it in the bathroom when I shower but that’s what the genius told me when I argues it had never been wet.

Funny how they look for moisture indicators instead of actually checking if there’s been water damage

Steam from being in the bathroom during a shower is quite harmful though, as the warm steam can over time weaken the seals in your phone. The same thing happens if it is submerged in water too much as well. Having your phone in a damp pocket would be no problem though, just as using it in the rain is ok too.

I’ve got a bunch of people up in my replies telling me that they, too, have pocket sweat.

It’s so strange because I’ve always thought that I had to be the sweatiest person on Earth. Like, I sweat when it’s any warmer than 65°F. But stuff in my pockets never gets sweaty. What a nightmare!

Probably depends on how humid it is where you are as well. A phone is going to get damp in Louisiana a lot quicker than in Nevada.

You’d be surprised. I can’t walk 5 minutes without feeling a little sticky already, and that’s at normal speed.

I’m one of them. Never a sweaty phone. Maybe I don’t go hard enough and need to up my game 😂
