Stories about an iPhone drowning, remaining at the bottom of the sea or lake for several days or even months, and continuing to work after being rescued, have long been no surprise. But one Reddit user told a truly unusual story: how his iPhone fell into a fire, was badly damaged, but continued to work.

It is not known how long the iPhone was in the fire, but it can be noted that, firstly, the phone itself was clearly badly damaged, and secondly, the silicone case, which was even more damaged, still did not have time to repair it. melt completely.

The author reports that the phone worked, although not fully, after being removed from the fire. The iPhone accepted calls and allowed the owner to create a backup. But it couldn’t charge anymore, so it worked as long as the battery charge allowed.

Many funny comments have already appeared under the relevant post on Reddit; “Normal operating temperature for an iPhone” or “Call Apple and tell them this new overheating problem is out of control.”.

For some reason, the author also did not say what the iPhone was, but its cutout shape shows that it is definitely not one of the iPhone 15 or iPhone 14 Pro models.
