    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

      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.
