Make a hot iPhone 5 cooler using ice

I am in countryside now. And I am very nessecary to use internet via my 3G.


I am using presonal hotspot via usb and my iphone is very very hot.


I find this way to use a package or a bag of ice or cool water and then place my iphone over it.


What about my phone? I usually do it before.


It will OK? or something (plastic) will be broken??


Thanks.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1, with silicone case

Moisture is bad for electronics in general. It is possible liquid will get into your phone if you do this.


The iPhone is designed to function just fine if the ambient temperature is between 32º to 95º F. If you are not seeing a notice on the screen that says the iPhone is too hot and needs to cool down, you do not need to do anything to help it along.
