Fallen iPhone records its journey to the bottom of the ocean

Gregory Papadin accidentally dropped his iPhone into the ocean.

Not many iPhones can fall to the bottom of the ocean and live to tell the tale.

Gregory Papadin was on a holiday in Spain when he accidentally dropped his iPhone into the ocean.

The phone was in the middle of recording before it fell and managed to capture its slow descent to the bottom of the ocean.


After several unsuccessful rescue attempts by Gregory and his brother, a diver was able to retrieve the phone from its premature watery grave.

“The underwater pressure was too much for both my brother and I to swim and get it, but the owner of the boat we rented was able to reduce the pressure using a special breathing method meant for diving [equalisation],” Gregory wrote in the YouTube description.

“He was able to retrieve it, and my phone managed to survive the whole ordeal!”

We’re glad that Gregory’s iPhone survived its journey to the bottom of the sea, and we are very curious about what kind of phone case he has.
