Because it’s in Japan, I’d probably use it. If this was in New York, I probably wouldn’t be in that bathroom in the first place.

is the remaining 0.01% of bacteria becoming superbugs?

It says UV so probably not. Otherwise we'd already be fucked from sunlight and Instagram models tanning.

that sounds plausible, how is it different with UV?

It's cool, I want to know how it works! But I don't trust it. All it takes is an accidental moment of suction to destroy a microphone or moisture seal. Or maybe someone accidentally dropped a bobby pin or something in there that could damage the charging port? That's all it would take to basically ruin my phone...

I also don't trust the employees to care or know how to safely remove a phone if a motor died or the building lost power... But I realize I'm paranoid! 🤷‍♂️
