The iPhone Xr had been lying at the bottom of the river for months, but it still continued to work when it was taken out.

What we known

While canoeing, Briton Miguel Pacheco found an Apple smartphone. Judging by the presence of one camera and a cutout, it was a 2018 iPhone Xr. As it turned out later, someone had dropped the smartphone back in the summer of 2021.

Miguel Pacheco dried the phone and tested it for functionality. It took 24 hours to dry, after which the smartphone started charging. When the man turned on the iPhone Xr, he saw a frozen image of a couple with the date August 13.

Miguel posted a picture of the smartphone on social media in the hope of finding the owner. From the data stored in memory, it became known that iPhone Xr belongs to a guy named Davis. After some time, the phone was identified, and returned to his owner.
