Anyone who has ever visited West Texas can sympathized with me how dry and uneventful the terrain is here. The advantage however is my iPhone will probably not get subjected to moisture damaging level like others throughout the country. Unless you live in the desert, in which you would welcome any form of moisture even if it’s conjugated in your iPhone.
Apparently Apple built a little moisture detector inside each iPhone. This immersion sensor stops the iphone from working in case it gets wet. People who take their iPhone with them to work out stand to tip this sensor eventually.
Therefore, it is best to leave your iPhone in the gym bag or at home when you go work out. Since I live in such a dry place, having moisture buildup is much harder than if I lived in Houston or the Amazon Basin.
What I want to know is why Apple still markets exercising aids for the iPhone. Programs such as RunKeeper, can only hurt your little iPod or iPhone eventually. Aside from putting your phone in a zipped sandwich bag hung around your neck, I do not see anyway of using a workout app in conjunction with your iPhone attached to your sweaty palms.
It looks like Apple may be listening and has loosen their replacement policy.
