Samsung Galaxy Sanitising Service begins roll out

After reading the discussion an obvious conclusion comes to mind:

If you don't change your whole behaviour, then disinfecting your phone is pointless.
If you did change your whole behaviour, then disinfecting your phone is pointless.

Unless you share your phone.

But not even baby Jesus touches my phone, I'd send the little rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish back to ..

I'm unsure why you come to this conclusion. The logical extension is that we shouldn't clean anything.

As I explained above, no-one has to actually touch your phone... An infected individual just has to breathe/cough close enough that the airborne particles reach your phone, or something that it wil later touch, and that's all it takes.

I'm curious how effective this would even be... UVC has the limit of only killing what's directly in the stream of light, so anything hidden by dirt, dust, smudges, under edges, etc., won't be cleaned. I'd be shocked if it does much for many phone covers...
