An unknown Apple iPhone that fell into Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota was discovered by a scuba club a year later in working condition.
There is a club in Wisconsin called The Four Lakes Scuba Club and every year they do approximately four cleanup dives which it considers a public service. That’s because, during these dives, club members remove items found in certain lakes. As club president Ellen Evans says, « We target things that are bad for the environment. That’s things like plastic bags, plastic cups, plastic bottles, electronics. I just try to imagine, ‘What were people doing that this ended up in the water.’ Usually I can’t come up with a good explanation on how it got here. »Among the items they find are lost phones. As Evans explains, « We find phones, we always try to charge them up. A lot of times they aren’t functional, but occasionally they are. » Last Sunday, while doing their civic duty and cleaning up Lake Mendota, the club’s divers discovered an Apple iPhone that was still working.
