Usually those water resistant seals are just a tiny bit of adhesive gunk like so (looks better before removal obviously). Eventually it may just break down. Also it isn’t waterproof, so holes like the charging port, speaker, microphone, stylus, you don’t want submerged for long. Might do better flipped upside down, but there is usually a speaker and mic at the top as well.
It is flipped, isn’t it? I see a cable coming out and that’s usually the bottom.
I’m wondering if the phone in a ziplock bag would work as well. thin plastic but an extra layer of security and a trivial heat insulator. But none of the shock factor lol
I feel like the problem with that is that you can’t get all the air out. air doesn’t conduct heat well at all, you would need airflow which you would get were the phone in the open. Maybe keep the ziplock bag open. I would try foil, for better heat conduction than plastic but I’m also afraid of foil reflecting heat radiation. I am in no way knowledgeable in this but i am hoping someone who is could provide some insight.
If we’re gonna talk about actual implementation, you can probably stick a few simple waterblocks on both of the phone’s sides with some thermal pads and have water flowing through everything. Maybe two CPU sized blocks on each side. Not the fancy stuff, the questionable cheap ones.
I don’t even think you need a radiator, a phone will only dissipate so much heat. A loop sucking water out of a metal bucket and dumping it back in will probably radiate enough heat to keep everything relatively cool. Unless we’re doing 25W phone processors now.

One of those sous vide bags maybe
I do sous vide in ziplocks

I’ve tried it. Mixed bag

i would go for vacuum sealing, but getting the cable out and keeping a functional seal will be problematic.
