A Taiwanese man, Chen Yi accidentally lost his iPhone 11 while paddling on a lake in March of last year. He recently posted photos of the retrieved phone from the bottom of the lake after more than a year. The phone need recharge but works perfectly fine.
Chen said he lost his iPhone 11 in March last year, while paddling on Sun Moon Lake, in Taiwan. The iPhone is hung around his neck in a waterproof casing. At one point, he falls off his board, and the phone can be seen sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Chen didn’t really have his hopes up for the phone working well. It is after all the phone had been lying on the bottom of Sun Moon Lake for over a year. But after opening it up, he was shocked to see that his iPhone 11 was as dry as a bone. The wireless charging and the cable charging functions worked perfectly. Once it was well-charged, the phone booted and worked perfectly.
His friend also fished out a Nokia from the mud. It seems that Chen is not the only one who dropped their phone into the lake.
