Angie Carriere dropped her iPhone into frozen Waskesiu Lake while she was ice fishing in Saskatchewan, Canada.
A month later, spurred by wanting to get the photos she took using her iPhone, with the help of friends, she retrieved off the bottom of the still-frozen lake.
Of course, it still works. “There’s nothing about the phone that doesn’t work. It’s amazing!” Carriere reports.
Watch CTV Saskatoon’s Carla Shynkaruk who followed the trail of an iPhone that survived an icy watery trek:
