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.
