When indoors will the natural moisture in the air get on the lightning connector that plugs into an iPhone and damage the iPhone?

I'm sorry, but just read what we're providing you.


  1. Under most conditions you NEVER have to worry about normal air humidity causing your lightning plug to be wet. I live in Florida, the land of humidity and have charged my phone many times without air-conditioning and have never had an issue.
  2. Just plug it in and if your phone charges, you're good.
  3. If there's an error unplug it
  4. You really don't need to worry about this
