Will leaving your iPhone 4 in the fridge hurt it?

Yes. It sounds absoutely crazy but that's my question. I can't take my phone into the tech room at work, they do have an area to put phones, but it's out in the open and I don't feel comfortable leaving it un protected. So o want to just put it in my lunch bag, which goes in the fridge. So will it hurt it? The fridge isn't below freezing or anything.

iPhone 4, iOS 4

If you work for a company that will not allow mobile phones and not provide you with a secure place to leave your belongings whil at work, you need to do two things.

1. Don't take your phone to work. It;s your company's policy.
2. Ask yourself what the F you're doing working for a company that won't even provide a safe place for employees to secure their belongings while they're at work.

The idea that you go to work and have to hide your iP in a fridge during the working day is so bazaar and rediculous that most normal people will think you're nuts for considering this as the solution to your problem, and mad to be working for such company.

I can only conclude you're trolling trying to be a wise ***.

The simple thing to do is _*Don't take your phone to work*_ unless the company changes policy. To answer your question, yes it can hurt the i4. So don't bother trying the fridge or leaving it in the car.

The non-operating temperature is -4 F to 110 F. If you leave it in the car, the car's insulation will drop 20 degrees outside towards that -4 or 90 degrees to 110.

If your tech company can not afford an RF pouch or a key locker for technology, then don't take your phone with you at all. A $600 phone can be easily stolen at work.

Ok my company does not provide a nice kitchen area for employees. Unfortunately I work mornings which means I miss breakfast most days. So... If I put my iphone in the hot sun and use the black glass on the back to attract heat, is it possible to scramble an egg on the iphone? And could I harm my phone? Just wondering. Thx.
