My iPhone 4S went for a swim before phones were generally waterproof and the screen backlight went out and the camera light stayed permanently on. I used the blind assist mode with the phone for a few months and even took photos totally blind. Eventually the backlight came on again and I could use the phone totally normal. Finally killed it falling out of my pocket 150’ up while rock climbing. Great phone though.
It’s worth checking out Blue95, which was originally made as a novelty but has all the power of uBlue behind it, as an opinionated, batteries-included Linux based on Fedora.
