Successfully ‘fishing’ iPhone 12 Pro from the bottom of the canal by taking advantage of MagSafe technology

Tram Ho

A man successfully saved his iPhone 12 Pro from a canal in Berlin, Germany. But instead of diving, he took advantage of the MagSafe feature to get his device back. The incident took place on Saturday, May 30, and the owner of the phone is a friend of app developer Frederik Riedel. The story was retweeted by Riedel on Twitter.

Specifically, at that time, the device was said to have sunk into the thick mud at the bottom of the water. Initial attempts to rescue the iPhone were made when its owner tried to wade into the 1-meter-deep mud, but it failed when he said there was “no way to find it”.

Then, Riedel and his friend came up with a way to use a fishing rod. The two men attached a magnet to the fishing line and dropped it on the spot where the iPhone initially fell. They hope the magnet can stick to the magnetic surface on the back, which is used to charge the device using MagSafe technology.

After being pulled up to the surface at around 3 a.m., the iPhone was determined to be in good working order, with the battery almost fully charged despite being submerged in the canal for hours.

And quite interestingly, the iPhone isn’t the only device to be picked up in this rescue effort. On the first attempt, a Nintendo Switch was pulled out of the mud, even though it was said to be “unworkable.”

This is not the only time magnets have been used to “fish” an iPhone. In March, a woman managed to retrieve her iPhone from a frozen lake after it was submerged for 30 days, using a magnet attached to a wire.

Unusual tools can also sometimes be used to save Apple technology products. In September 2019, it was reported that one New York resident used a broom and duct tape, while another used dental floss and an electronic cigar charger with magnets to pull on the ears.
