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.

Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt 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. >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 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. Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
