Winter concerns
- • Salt air accelerates corrosion on charging ports, speaker grilles, and metal contacts
- • Coastal fog and damp air promote moisture buildup inside device housings
Summer concerns
- • High coastal humidity promotes oxidation on connectors and circuit board traces
- • Salt spray near the coast corrodes exposed metal components faster
