iPhone 11 Dropped Into The Lake A Year Ago Found In Working Condition

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.

Jokingly, a friend and business partner who accompanied him on his paddling escapade, told him that he would see his phone again in a year or so. But little did he know it became a reality. After some drought, the water level went down considerably and his friend managed to retrieve his phone from the mud. His friend texted him about the retrieval success.

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.
