iPhone X found working six days after being dropped at sea

 

Ben Schofield, a sailor dropped his £1000 iPhone X while working on a museum ship the Regal Lady.

The pricey phone sank 50 feet (~15 meters) to the bottom of a harbour. Schofield then asked a friend to dive into the waters of the harbour in an attempt to retrieve the device, but he was unsuccessful.

Schofield then decided the best course of action would be to wait until low tide which turned out to be nearly a week later.

When he went back in search of his phone, he quickly found his it caked in mud. The phone was apparently operational.

Schofield said after retrieving the phone,  he went to show it to his boss and that is when he felt I vibrate in is hands. He cleaned it upand got rid of the debris in the charging port and let it dry out.

Upon retrieval, he realised the phone only had three per cent battery. When he plugged it in and it began to charge.

The sailor contacted Apple about the event and even they could not believe it. It is speculated that the sand filled the charging port and eventually preserved it.

Schofield’s good news is actually an exception to the rule of the iPhone X and it’s use in water.  It is advised that the phone is only kept in water at a depth of one meter for 30 minutes at most.
