In Northern California, a diver named Lee stumbled upon an iPhone 12 submerged in the Stanislaus River on November 10th while searching for salmon. Covered in algae and nestled among rocks, Lee cleaned and left it to dry for a few days. Astonishingly, the iPhone 12, connected to a charger on November 16th, not only powered on but also functioned without a passcode.

Although Lee hasn’t identified the owner yet, there are plans to contact individuals from the contacts list with the intention of returning the device.
