Welding and metal work. I do a lot of grinding and there’s always general metal dust about. I also wear an Apple Watch and the speakers are totally full of rust and the mic doesn’t work!

Why are they around the camera....
stevey83 OP t1_ixielbd wrote
That camera uses magnets for stabilisation. I also get stuff magnetised on the front screen.
stevey83 OP t1_ixieonh wrote
Defiantly do. Welding fumes are no fun!

I’m also a metal fabricator and my camera looks the same every day. I use a q-tip to clean around the lens. Also my charging port broke due to shavings getting in there. Luckily I can still charge magnetically.

I do keep it on a shelf most of the day tbh. When I get home I put my small kitchen dyson over it to suck anything up.

Apple may replace the apple watch for free, but it depends on how you tell them about the damage. Only reason they would end up replacing it for free is if it is in warranty, and you just tell them you don't know why the microphone died lol
stevey83 OP t1_ixijjbs wrote
Well it’s in quite poor condition tbh, screen scratched all over, and it’s about 4 years old! I’d love an ultra, but would get ruined in my job. My current series 4 works fine though, apart from said issues!
Odder1 t1_ixijw8w wrote
The Ultra's Sapphire glass should scratch less than your series 4 (unless you are using a n S4 with sapphire glass already)
But, it is more prone to shattering. The raised lip and flat glass helps with this, and the speakers are much bigger, too. Don't know if the Microphone would hold up though, I don't work where my watch is exposed to fine metal particles. Guess I should consider myself lucky lol

Can some cardio doctors explain how bad this being close to a family member with a peace maker implant ?
stevey83 OP t1_ixilftv wrote
I doubt there strong enough to affect anyone personally. You can check on the apple website I guess though.

my dad is an ornamental welder and I got him one of those dust proof otterbox cases and it works super well. Back when we used flip phones, he would go through them pretty often because that metal dust absolutely fucks up anything with a magnet. Anyway, I would consider getting one of those if you dont already have one.
stevey83 OP t1_ixjgbuo wrote
I’ll look one up now. Thanks for the advice!
blendertricks t1_ixjh5cb wrote
My step dad when I was a teen always came home with metal shavings all over him. I would step on the bigger chunks from the lathe (I assume) sometimes.
authenticblob t1_ixjke2h wrote
Same happens with my phone! I work around mechanics so I get a lot of metal on my phone. I even have one of those camera covers and somehow it still attracts metal
jaystorm34 t1_ixjkhwj wrote
I had this same exact experience with my XR today cause I was grinding down welds all day, the steel dust has ruined my charging port so I have a cheap wireless charger at work to charge it and i keep my 14 pro at home away from steel

Use the glass camera protector on Amazon they are cheap and they make the lenses flat instead of the three bumps and it’s still a little recessed in my case

They do have screen protectors for camera now, watches also. That’s will fix this issue I would think.

Pro Tip: Hot Glue Stick + Lighter. Melt the end and apply to metal shavings/dust/chips stick to magnets 🧲.

Careful about speaker and mic they all work with magnets i also work at metal work all the time speakers reduce performance after almost a year
stevey83 OP t1_ixlpcuu wrote
I think I’ll need to buy a case which covers the whole phone completely. Problem is I’ve had cases like this before and then you can’t hear the phone ring.

Take high pressure air and blow out charge port and speakers. I thought my speakers were dying and charge port broken but it was just Metall powder stuck everywhere from work
n0rpie t1_ixlvzbq wrote
Try blow it with high pressure air. I thought mine was broken until I did that and now it works perfect again lol

I have 90 psi at work. Is that too much, do you think? Dial it back or just send it?
n0rpie t1_ixm1m0k wrote
I have know idea how much really. I’ve got those connections hanging around my work to just plug in a handle and blow clean my clothes etc
It’s safe enough to use on myself at least but I don’t know how much psi
