My friend told me a while ago he takes his £1000 iPad Pro in the bath with him every night as he likes to catch up on social media and reply to messages, whilst in the tub…..
I told him he was a fool because if he dropped it the chances of it operating correctly are slim , not to mention the steam from the hot water could balls up the internals. I just don’t think iPads and water are designed to mix are they?
He has also told me that parts of the iPad touch screen don’t register when touched and its getting slower, but blamed it on Apples poor components and quality control ( no word of a lie )

iPads never had ip68 or those things for protection, especially not water proof, like you wouldn’t take your pc or mac notebook into the showers with you for the same reason

Maybe the friend doesn't care. He gets to bash Apple and if he deep-sixes it, he'll use that as an excuse to get a Samsung tablet.

Only one recommendation: don't ever lend your friend any of your tech or other gear!

I seldom take baths anymore and we got a Jacuzzi! When I used it, I loved listening to the stereo.
