Sadly, more common than you think. Instead of "water resistant", people tend to hear "waterproof"

You know, when I used to repair phones, I had people come into my store all the time who would clean their phone like that. I do not recommend that at all. They'd come in cuz it would stop working because the water pressure can be too much for those seals, they were meant to protect from still, standing water, not pressurized water. They'd get mad and tell me I was wrong cuz the phones are "waterproof". Not waterproof, just water resistant, there's a big difference there. Just use 70% iso, or even hand sanitizer, honestly. Hand sanitizer works incredibly well thanks to the water and glycerin content, gunk comes right off, and most hand sanitizer is around 60% so it won't ruin the oleophobic coating on your screen.

If you use too strong of rubbing alcohol, like the 80-90% strong kind, it can do the same. Not always, but it can happen. When repairing and replacing those seals, you tend to use 99% or straight up acetone to remove them. I used to go home from work with those adhesive boogers all over my sleeves, it's a nightmare.

Hey, that's nice. I haven't jailbroken anything in a couple years. Switched to Android for necessary reasons, and I don't mind it. Kinda miss having an iphone, kinda fine without it. I always try to stay up to date though, fixing phones and whatnot. The older blackra1n untethered ones would crash often for me, it was annoying. I still did it though, I was addicted to icon packs lol never had more than a week of uptime myself, probably had bad tweaks or just too many, I could never help myself.

Well, ish. Looked into it recently, a lot seems to have changed. I think up to like 16.1 can be jailbroken, something like that. Seems most jailbreaks aren't untethered though, so once you restart your phone, you have to go through the jailbreak process again. Easier the second time around when it's already set up, still a pain though

Came looking for this comment. Wasn't sure how many people remembered this. Man, that was like ios 7 days. I used to have those glyph icons and no app names, my home screen looked so damn clean back then.
