Using an iPhone 7 in the Shower Is America’s Latest Status Symbol, Here’s Why

The iPhone 7 is nearly waterproof, and it has opened up a new world of possibilities for phone use.
Gone are the rainy days when you have to worry about your delicate phone’s safety. You can keep your iPhone in swim trunks and dive into the pool if the whim takes you. As iPhones become more rugged and durable, they become less fragile and expensive luxury items that you have to babysit and be mindful of, and more faithful and intrepid companions that can accompany you anywhere– the ocean, the swimming pool, and even the shower. Make of that what you will.
The latest Apple flagship smartphones are not impervious to water, in case of emergency. The fact that your iPhone 7 is waterproof means there are no water-related emergencies anymore (at reasonable depths, that is).
Those lucky enough to have snagged the newest iPhones have come to this realization and are taking to social media to trumpet their newfound powers. They’ve begun tweeting, texting, and, it’s fair to assume, selfie-snapping and Snapchatting from the shower. Again, make of that what you will.
Even after the novelty wears off and you realize that people don’t really need to or particularly want to know you’re texting them from the shower, you’ll realize that waterproof smartphones are awesome.
It’s not about tweeting from the shower. It’s about freedom, and the ongoing experiment in the democracy that is America. It’s about knowing you can.
