Here is where around your home an iPhone is most likely to be damaged
Share:
So if you've ever dropped your iPhone in the toilet, rest assured that you're not alone. In fact, about 9% of iPhone owners have done it, according to SquareTrade. As a whole, about 16% of all iPhone-related accidents that take place at the user's home occur in the bathroom. And what's also pretty interesting is that 5% of those who own (or once owned) iPhones were unfortunate enough to put their smartphone in the washing machine by accident.
Want to learn even more? Then the entire inforgraphic is available below. Feel free to check it out, and in case your iPhone has also been damaged accidentally, do not hesitate to share your story with us down in the comments.

I treat mine with lots of care, and keep it away from water.

Tell her to remove it after 6 months from that sewage tank. It should remain in working condition, 'kay? Tried and tested by a very trusted site with positive result.

Hey, don't criTiCiZe, it happened to me. I inadvertently dropped my iPhone 4 in eau de toiLet last year after mother nature came-a-callin' and iWent-a-runnin'!! In a feverish frenzy to drop my drawers, iDropped my iPhone instead and then dropped mother nature on top. I used a clothes hanger (not the Mommy Dearest kind, the wire kind) to scoop it out of the loo. My only recourse to try and salvage it was to place it in the wash because FaceTime™ was now FaceGriMe™; I guess I fall into the 9 and 5 percentiLe, respectively. Good thing I had Verizon insurance through Assurion; I was upgraded to an iPhone 4S. I guess sh¡t happens for a reason.

Yes, but iPhone is the only phone that matters.

You just woke me up from a long dream where newly developed androids helped people day by day, while a certain flower never closed itself and never allowed its pollen grains to spread, just to rot away. Yeah, thanks for that ;P
