After some googling, I see many articles on circumstances where an iPhone ***can*** be used, but none that say definitely that is perfectly okay to actually do so (or whether it's risky to do so). Also problematic is that most of the top google results come from news paper websites, which are not technical in nature, and therefore not the best sources of such specific questions, and often word sentences to avoid committing to any specifics (and worse, some are speculative i.e. written *before* the details were released by apple!). Question: if it's pouring rain and you're going out into it, can you continue a phone conversation while walking in that rain? Assumptions - That the [device should be thoroughly dried afterward before charging or using any any peripherals](https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT207043) > If your iPhone has been exposed to liquid, unplug all cables and do not charge your device until it’s completely dry .. allow at least 5 hours - That the rain is falling like normal (i.e. it is not [pressurised](https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT207043)) > To prevent liquid damage, avoid .. pressurised water or high-velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on
