RE: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt

2016-04-16 Thread Terrie Terlau 
Hi Sieghard,

Adding my interest and good wishes to those of others for your  phone. Once I 
lost a Braille ‘n Speak; someone in my apartment complex found it after the 
snow melted (though not as long-lasting as your snow) and put it on a tree 
stump. A friend of mine sqaw it there and brought it to me. I didn’t know about 
rice then so I let it sit a week – and it worked well for the next few years. 
All this is to say that your phone stands a good chance!

Let us know.

Terrie

Congratulations on finding your phone, smile! I worry about losing my 6S+ or

Re: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt

2016-04-16 Thread Lea W Langley 
Hi all,

Seighard,
You are always so nice and so helpful to all of us. I am hoping that your phone 
will work.
I am an optimist, so with Al I have, I am voting but the phone will work. 
Someone as nice as you are deserves a break like this. Best of luck to you with 
the phone.
God bless,
Wren Langley

Hello Sieghard,

Thank you for this update.  

I was wondering what happened to that phone.

I look forward to the final chapter in which you tell us if the device still 
works or not (smile).

Hi,

just wanted to let everybody know that my brother finally found my iPhone 6S 
yesterday. I lost it during a walk on December 22. It was just off to the side 
a bit in a place where we spent probably a whole hour looking back then. My 
brother said now that the snow and ice is gone he saw it almost right away when 
he went back there.

Yes, please do let us know if the phone comes to life.  My guess is that it 
will.  Good luck anyway!  I think I'll hold off on getting a new phone until 
the iPhone 7 comes out.

From the outside the iPhone is in perfect condition, not a scratch on

From the outside the iPhone is in perfect condition, not a

stick it in a ziplock bag filled with rice so that any moisture

ranch in northern British Columbia so it will not be until next

Apple with my Apple Care Plus plan even if I have to pay whatever 
fee they now charge, I think it's $130 or $160 or something like 
that here in Canada.  Still worthwhile for getting another new 
iPhone 6S 64 Gb.

Re: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt

Please keep us informed. There is a vid on YouTube about a guy who put one 
under water for over an hour and it worked so you never know! And yes, I know 
the video is likely not true, but interesting as I have a 6S as well.

yesterday. I lost it during a walk on December 22. It was just off to the side 
a bit in a place where we spent probably a whole hour looking back then. My

he went back there.

Hi,
While the phone has nothing to do with me, I do hope it works.  
That would be kind of

unbelievable.

Hi Sieghard,



If the phone works, you should send the story to all the news 
outlets and Apple.  That would top even the most outlandish Timex 
watch story.

From the outside the iPhone is in perfect condition, not a 
scratch on it.  Of course after 4 months outside in the snow with 
temperatures as low as -30 Celsius and going through the snow 
melt and a few rain showers since it is pretty unlikely that the 
phone is still working.  I guess one good thing is that the 
battery should be deader than dead and there is definitely no 
electricity remaining.  At this point I told my brother to just 
stick it in a ziplock bag filled with rice so that any moisture 
is absorbed.  They live a long way from any town on a cattle 
ranch in northern British Columbia so it will not be until next 
Tuesday that somebody gets to a post office and at that point my 
Mom will send it back to me.  By the time I receive it (most 
likely next Friday) it will have been in rice for a week and I 
guess I'll just plug it in and see what happens.  If it is 
completely dead I should still be able to get a new phone from

Now the million-dollar question. Does the phone still work after being in the
