I was always worried about splashes and rain on my iPhone until I accidentally submersed it in a hot tub for 5 minutes. Worked fine other than a warning not to use the charging port until it completely dried out. Took about a day. My iPhone is a 12 and it appears to be pretty water resistant.
These are good to know. Thanks. If anything happens, it may be me accidentally dropping my phone into the hot spring water for a few seconds while I panic and fish it out. If these things have happened to both of you, that gives me more confidence that I don't need to buy anything special. I literally intend to take a few pictures for the memories later, put the phone back in my locker, and then enjoying myself with a good soak.Every iPhone since the 7 and 7 Plus in 2016 has been water resistant. They can't say water proof (neither can case manufacturers) because there is a combination of time and depth at which water will intrude. But for practical every day purposes, your phone is already waterproof.
I have on numerous occasions accidentally gotten into the pool with my "water resistant" android phone in my pocket. I rinse it with clean water to wash off any salt and/or chlorine and it's fine.
Thanks!
