iPhone 12 was wrapped in a layer of algae among the rocks in the water
According to the Apple Insider website, the man, who gave his name only as ‘Lee’, said he received the iPhone 12 on November 10. It was wrapped in a layer of algae between the rocks. Lee told Apple Insider that he left the handset to dry for a few days. About a week later, on November 16, he managed to turn it on by connecting it to the charger. Additionally, it appears that the handset did not have a passcode, as the diver was able to unlock the device and view recent photos and contacts. The most recent item in the Photos app was a video taken in Stanislaus on September 4, which shows that the iPhone 12 was submerged in water for more than three months.
