None of that will hurt the phone. If you rub hard on the screen with them it could remove some of the oleophobic coating so don't do that. Use Siri to control the phone. If you have powdered gloves keep the powder away from the phone.

Oh ok alright, but just to confirm is it fine due to the rubber smell and stuff or is my iPhone fine? I’m pretty paranoid sorry for the dumb question
