As the owner of a smartphone named Michael Guntrum said, he dropped his iPhone in the lake in March last year during under -voltage fishing.

“There were 25 degrees of frost, so I and two friends went to the ice fishing. I started to peck, and I put the phone on my knees, and he slipped. Instead of falling into the snow, he fell into the hole. I caught the fish, but it was not worth it,” Tj quotes the words TJ .

However, in September 2015, the lake faded, and in October of this year, Calgren decided to find something interesting at the bottom with the help of a metal detector. As a result, he found only the iPhone guntrum, which lay under a thick layer of silt and clay.

“It was terrible. He sent me a photo and asked:“ You won’t recognize him? ”And I immediately recognized my screensaver,” Guntrum said. He also called himself a fan of Apple products, noting that this story once again proves the correctness of his choice.
