There was, until some feckless schlub dropped the prototype into used motor oil

hahah that's about the sum of it. Never keep your phone in your shirt pocket when changing your oil. This is bugging me, maybe it was a 10 Pro? I haven't thought about it since I retired it from use. It was an iPhone 8 Plus

Don't keep your phone in your shirt pocket, period. Most shirt pockets won't securely hold a US dime let alone today's 4 pound, 8 inch long smart phones.
