1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,080
as we know Tech and water don't mix and

2
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:17,560
so whenever I'm out on the lake enjoying the Summer sun near the water's edge I

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,680
always have this anxiety that I'm just going

4
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:26,599
to I dropped

5
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:33,760
it and that anxiety doesn't just come from nowhere according to phone insurer

6
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,200
Asurion water related claims go up 80% in the summer months which is great if

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:43,320
you pay for cell phone insurance but let's be real nobody does I sure as held

8
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,520
don't and so if the worst happens that's

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,239
it or is it it's why I want to meet a person who

10
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:56,079
was able to get her phone back and working you could drop it in a lake you

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,000
never know her name is Fatima gatsi and her phone's Resurrection made waves

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:05,040
through the tech media quite simply because of how long it's spent

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,320
underwater Oh yeah 6 months and now so

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,119
here's the phone it's a white iPhone 11

15
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:16,640
and as you can see it's perfectly in shape it looks almost as good as my new

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,119
one but if you look at it like in certain spots like right here you can

17
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,799
definitely see like some rusting that went on from like being underwater but

18
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:30,320
otherwise it still charges perfectly fine and when I got it back initially um

19
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,759
from clay I took it home the microphone wasn't working speaker was super muffed

20
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:39,280
this story happened much like you'd expect on a nice day at the end of last

21
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:45,280
summer with the enticing Prospect of fun on bumper boats very

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:51,079
risky so we're out on the water and then I'm you know enjoying it taking pictures

23
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,799
of the view and then this oncoming boat

24
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:59,000
actually started spraying water onto me and then I like totally lost balance

25
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:03,640
freaked out and then I dropped my phone in the water

26
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,640
and it was and I I couldn't even believe it when I dropped it it hit me and I

27
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,040
just like wanted to cry then but more than that I didn't have any backups or

28
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,560
anything oh so you didn't have an iTunes or an iCloud backup at all no I actually

29
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,480
didn't no yeah I did I noticed that for a while I was saying that it's not

30
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:24,440
backing up but I and I was thinking I have to get to that but I didn't

31
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,800
obviously ever consider that oh today is the day where I'm going to lose

32
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,460
everything and I should have backed it up sooner

33
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,399
so how did she get it back and

34
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:44,519
working well it was a night in a shining wet suit his name is Clayton helenberg

35
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,080
and he's an avid free diver it's definitely a hobby of mine just a swim

36
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:53,599
but the more I was swimming and the more like sunglasses and phones and stuff I

37
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:53,599
was Finding also the more trash we were

38
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,120
finding oh a vape still got some juice

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,760
in it but with the trash one can also find treasure and Clayton finds all

40
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:08,360
sorts of things drones GoPros sunglasses and phones like these two Clayton found

41
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:13,000
for us but before we look at them let me introduce you to our sponsor set app set

48
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,439
phones one is an iPhone 10 and the other

49
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,200
an iPhone 7 this in fact was the first

50
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:49,239
iPhone to get an official IP67 rating thanks to the solid state home button

51
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,280
and the courageous removal of the headphone

52
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,879
jack I think it was a major help in this story the IP code is defined by the

53
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:03,720
international electrotechnical commission standard number 60 5 to

54
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:11,760
n oh look they turned on okay sorry if

55
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,359
this is getting a little boring but you've probably seen the IP code on cell

56
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:19,880
phone spec sheets it has a meaning the first number specifies the level of

57
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,919
protection from solids and the second specifies protection from water so if a

58
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,280
device has a rating of ip11 it means that it's protected against an object

59
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:34,120
larger than 50 mm or a hand and it's

60
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:34,120
protected against falling drops of

61
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,360
water Yep this is at least

62
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,720
ip1

63
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,360
well um sorry at IP67 it means that

64
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:55,199
these are completely dust tight and protected from water Ingress at up to 1

65
00:04:52,600 --> 00:05:00,880
M depth for 30 minutes apple hasn't even stopped there though any iPhone above

66
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,840
the 10s is rated at I p68 which allows

67
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:11,639
for depths of greater than 1 M so an iPhone 12 is rated up to 6 M 11 Pros are

68
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,720
rated at 4 M and Fatima's 11 at 2 m

69
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:18,639
which incidentally was about the depth her phone was at for all those

70
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,240
months I guess then what's like the ratio of stuff in pretty decent

71
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,800
condition versus oh it's pretty low it's pretty low so for let's say the 200

72
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:29,800
pairs of sunglasses I found I probably found 20 that were in usable condition I

73
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,520
would say give or take and then whatever out for the ratio of like phones or Tech

74
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,800
you find under water phone GoPros to start with GoPros always work I have not

75
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:44,520
found an unworking GoPro yet iPhone 11s I found three of them all three of

76
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:47,039
worked I have one working iPhone 10 but

77
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:51,400
um I think it was S8 or S9 that briefly worked and then it decided to shut off

78
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,800
again last year sent two big boxes to a guy in uh think he's in Ontario or

79
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,880
something like that his channel is the phone Guru and he was able to fix a

80
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,280
whole bunch of them actually plan to send him some more in the future when I get some better ones but got to wait for

81
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,560
the summer to people drop some better looking

82
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:13,319
phones okay so this iPhone 7 uh appears

83
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:15,440
to be fine um but uh it's locked so I

84
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:21,080
can't get in obviously uh and then this iPhone 10 well when I first plugged it

85
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,919
in it was boot looping like crazy and I

86
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,880
put it into restore mode and tried updating it cuz I don't want to delete

87
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:32,360
anything that's on here um but I can't really get that to work uh and if I were

88
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:37,039
to restore it completely then it means I wouldn't be able to get the person's

89
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:40,800
data back to them so let's see if we can

90
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,520
reach out to them uh where do I start

91
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,199
yeah so what I do with phones um hers it just turned right on which was kind of

92
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,080
cool but iPhone has a quite a good lock system so I'm not cracking that code

93
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,880
anytime soon so what I do with all phones is I just take the SIM card out

94
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,440
and I plug it into an old phone and I have a SIM card reader and that and it just shows me the phone number that the

95
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,560
phone's registered to and I just just call the phone or text the phone and if

96
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,759
somebody answer is awesome and she answered right away and that was cool

97
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:10,120
that's how that works okay so I got this Android phone to do this uh so let's um

98
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,800
switch the SIM cards here

99
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:21,720
okay and take this one out huh uh it's an

100
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,479
AT&T SIM card I wonder what that means

101
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:29,520
put this in here okay it looks like we got

102
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:31,440
service there's no number on here it's

103
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:39,639
it's blank does that mean it's an old SIM card okay so it's an American phone

104
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,039
maybe uh it's not connected to um an

105
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:48,459
American Network and we live close to the Border let's see if that

106
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:56,280
works blank darn it I was hoping to get

107
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:04,960
that phone back okay um that didn't work

108
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,960
so uh let's try the next SIM

109
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,479
card okay it's got service if I try

110
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,479
phoning this

111
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:25,220
number it's ringing oh my goodness

112
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,039
okay oh my gosh I got some text messages

113
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,840
P the number off the the guy who sent message to this

114
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:50,279
phone this is a lot harder than I was expecting I mean how did Clayton do it

115
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,279
with Fatima's

116
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,279
phone you got your new phone in December

117
00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:01,240
and then a couple months later what happened it was a normal day I was just

118
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,600
chilling and then I got a text saying hi

119
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:07,560
my name is Clay um did you lose a cell phone in Harrison Lake so it was just

120
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,480
really really odd that someone was asking me about this thing that happened

121
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:16,399
6 months ago and knew exactly where I lost it I almost genuinely felt like

122
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,240
someone's trying to I don't know lure me into

123
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,519
somewhere but all it was was Clayton trying to return a phone back to their

124
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,440
rightful owner hopefully with all its photos and memories intact I don't know

125
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:34,800
like how to feel about receiving something that I was definitely

126
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:41,600
heartbroken to lose and it was such a stressful time I just felt like a lot of

127
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,959
memories or um pieces of a big time in

128
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:47,240
my life were just kind of given back to me so I was just mostly grateful for

129
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,760
that and then I was also thinking like now what do I do with the second phone

130
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,800
so what does it feel like when you return a phone to someone it's awesome

131
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:58,760
uh some of the reactions are just people are in total disbelief sometimes and

132
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,600
yeah it's pretty cool too bad I won't be getting the same reactions myself I

133
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,519
don't have a lot of Apple stuff at all like I used to have an iPod and I was about it but um yeah those iPhone 11s

134
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:13,279
like apple makes a crazy waterproof phone it's very impressive honestly like

135
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:17,200
6 months around 10 ft of water it's just crazy two other ones at C us they were

136
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:21,079
both charged when I found them the guys had lost them the day before but uh yeah

137
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:24,200
I jumped in and I just clicked the button and it turned on underwater and

138
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,839
there was a background of a dog on it and it was just super

139
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,800
funny so I guess after this whole Oreal

140
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,959
what's the big lesson you've learned back up your phone always get hooked on

141
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,480
it I don't know I assumed cuz the last backup I did was like on iTunes and that

142
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:45,519
was really lengthy but I didn't know that now you could just still just do it

143
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:49,800
on the phone just go on iCloud and then just subscribe to it and then it backs

144
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:54,920
up for you so definitely very easy very affordable process um and if you're ever

145
00:10:52,920 --> 00:11:00,519
out where you might drop your phone put it in a zip pocket just don't take it on

146
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,519
the water

147
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:07,880
it's reassuring to know that if your iPhone dunks into a shallow Beach or

148
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,920
pool it has a chance of surviving but that doesn't mean you should be careless

149
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:15,800
because despite there being people like Clayton around 6 months is still an

150
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,240
awful long time to be without a phone thank you for joining us at this

151
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:25,000
Mac Address from the shores of cultist Lake British Columbia now I'm curious if

152
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:29,079
you yourself have had any Tales of an iPhone surviving or maybe not surviving

153
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,920
a dunk underwater feel free to share them in the comments below
