One of the fastest ways to ruin a smartphone can be blamed on Mother Nature. When your phone is exposed to the hot rays of the sun too long, it can overheat and degrade the performance of the battery and melt the internal components, potentially ruining the phone for good. The easiest way to avoid this is to keep the phone out of the sun, and to never leave a phone inside a hot car (including the glove box, which still gets very hot). When charging a phone on a hot day, take off the protective case before charging, which can hold on to heat and cause the phone to overheat, too.
