                     Fishing for a Lost iPhone with MagSafe

   Josh Centers

   AppleInsider reports on a Berlin man who [1]dropped his iPhone 12 Pro
   in a canal but eventually managed to fish it out thanks to the MagSafe
   connector on the back. He attached a magnet to the line of a fishing
   pole. Happily, at about 3 AM, he [2]successfully retrieved the iPhone
   from the canal. Despite spending hours underwater, it was fully
   functional. Why do we suspect that alcohol might have been involved in
   both the accident and the rescue?

     We built a magnetic fishing rod and catched it!!!!! MagSafe ftw
