A couple of days ago we brought you the story of a man who finally got his iPhone back after a big fish gobbled it up. The device was stuck inside the fish for at least eight whole months, but still retained its shape. Now it’s time for something really special. Let’s see if it still works.

- It’s actually in pretty good shape.
- Yeah, I mean, it was soaked for eight months.

The phone wiped clean and the station all set up, plus the amulet’s spiritual support, it’s time for the big reveal.

- We’re plugging in.

Everyone wants to know whether the iPhone 16 Pro Max that was lodged inside the belly of a giant grouper for a little over eight months will actually work.

- I don’t think it’ll turn on.

That might just be the longest minute ever. The screen stayed black, completely inactive. They’re not giving up yet, but it’s really done if not even supernatural forces would help.

I was amazed enough that the object could stay in such good shape in salt water. It would be way, way too much to ask for more.

A quick recap on how the phone ended up in the fish. The owner, Mr. Chen is a food reporter. In September last year, while he was filming at a fish farm in Yong’an, Kaohsiung, a giant grouper suddenly leapt from the water and swiped his phone from him. Almost immediately after that, another 150cm-long giant grouper swallowed it whole. After the fish died very recently, the farm gutted it and found the device, still held together in spite of corrosion and surface scratches. It’s all so surreal that a “power-on ceremony” was called for.

The fish is free now. No one would try to call it anymore. It won’t have to suffer. I tried “Find My iPhone,” and that should make the phone vibrate. I wondered if the fish felt that in the guts.

Alas, the phone no longer functions. But the fact that it kept its shape after more than eight months inside a fish is already quite a miracle. Mr. Chen says he’ll be keeping it as a memento.
