Q: iPhone 7 moisture/temperature resistance?

I have psoriasis, so I am considering using my new iPhone 7 during a long bath. Phone is unlikely to be submerged but will encounter moisture & heat for 2+ hours. Does the new iPhone 7 have good moisture/temperature resistance?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

    I found this on the Apple page about the Tech Specs of the iPhone 7:

     

    ...

     

    Environmental Requirements
    • Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    • Nonoperating temperature: ‑4° to 113° F (‑20° to 45° C)
    • Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

     

    ...

    iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.
