I don’t know about you, but if I dropped my iPhone in a lake I’d consider it a lost cause. I wouldn’t dream of recovering the device in working order 30 seconds after retrieving it from the watery depths, let six months later. Though, in an unlikely turn of events, that’s exactly what happened to Ken Hovanes.

Hovanes wrote in to 9to5 Mac six months ago sharing his iHorror story – basically, he dropped his iPhone off a dock and the lake water was too murky to even attempt to find it. Since then, he purchased a new phone and had all but moved on from the experience. But this weekend, thanks to lower water levels and clearer water, he was actually able to find his old iPhone and retrieve it from its watery grave. Pretty unexpected, right? Well that’s nothing compared to the surprise Hovanes must have felt when he discovered the phone still worked!

Of course, there are some issues with the device (warped body, WiFi connection problems, screen problems) but, when connected to a power source, the phone powers on! The 30-pin connector is pretty dirty, but Hovanes is reportedly working on cleaning it so he can retrieve all the pictures he thought he’d lost.

Have you guys ever experienced any similar iMiracles? Let me know in the comments section below or on twitter @TiP_Jake.
