In recent months, it's impossible to miss it: you've probably noticed that “magnet fishing” videos are popping up here and there on YouTube. The principle more or less resembles that of metal detectors, in water therefore. But some go even further, and simply decide todiveseveral meters deep to recover lost or abandoned objects.
Fun, the experience also helps clean up waterways and therefore remains commendable. Even more so when we find relics worth several hundred euros… Telan iPhone 11. Equipped with acertification IP68, this device which is not even two years old yet is supposed to be able to withstand immersion of less than two meters for thirty minutes. But this is nothing compared to the feat of this miracle, which lasted almost a semester.
It's not the first time
In fact, iPhones have been found in similar situations in the past, suggesting that these devices are actually tougher than they appear. We particularly remember the mishap that occurred at Walt Disney World Resort,when another iPhone 11 fell into a theme park water feature.
It's difficult to understand what allowed these mobiles to last so long underwater. The lack of movement probably helped, but it's impossible to know more. Apple has not commented on the affair, as usual, even if there is no doubt that it fuels its communication efforts in terms ofsolidityand robustness.
The iPhone 11, still on sale
Do you also want to take the bet? Please note that Apple is still selling the iPhone 11, at a much more attractive price than the iPhone 12:689 euroscompared to 809 euros for the most recent model. So sure, you may not have the chance to benefit from an Apple A14 Bionic processor or charging with MagSafe, but at least your phone will be more affordable and still compatible with iOS 14.
Otherwise, there is also the iPhone XR, also with a large screen, as well as the second generation iPhone SE. The latter, on the other hand, comes with a more compact display and without Face ID, but with a fingerprint sensor instead.
