A Maryland, US resident has relived her experience of retrieving her missing iPhone in the toilet after reporting the device lost since 2012. In a story monitored on the U.S. Sun, Becki Beckmann retrieved her iPhone from her toilet, ten years after the device was lost.
Despite efforts to get the device, Beckmann was unable to pinpoint what happened to her iPhone in 2012. Having moved on, she had forgotten about the phone and had already gotten a replacement. But a persistent sound from a toilet in Beckmann’s apartment warranted closer scrutiny of what was producing a sound whenever the toilet was flushed.
Beckmann’s husband then discovered that it was indeed the lost iPhone from 2012, which had fallen into the toilet. Given the disorienting nature of the toilet chamber, it was impressive that the iPhone still retained its basic structure, although the rear cover had separated from the phone. Sadly, iPhones only got water resistance in 2016 starting with the iPhone 7 series.
It is unclear whether the iPhone which looks like an iPhone 4 could still be restored to working conditions, but in all, we could say that the iPhone held its own in its decade-long sojourn beneath its owner. There were several opinions on the Facebook post detailing the sojourn of the iPhone in the toilet. Some views are challenging whether indeed the iPhone was in the toilet for ten years or it recently got stuck there.
