A man says it is a miracle of science that his iPhone still works after it was pulled, covered in mud and weed, dripping wet, from a river where he lost it ten months ago. Owain Davies, 35, from Edinburgh, dropped the mobile when he and a pal fell overboard while they were canoeing during a stag do in Cinderford, Gloucestershire, last summer. Now it’s been found in the fast-flowing, 20ft deep River Wye by Miguel Pachaco, who was canoeing with his baby daughter and spotted ‘something blue’ on the river bed. Amazingly, Mr Pachaco, 29, managed to turn it on after drying it out and enlisted the help of his local Cinder Noticeboard Facebook group to try and find the owner. He wrote ‘Found this iPhone in the River Wye when canoeing. ‘Looks as if it’s been in the water since August last year, as that’s the date on the front of it. ‘I took it home, opened it up and dried it out with an airline and then left it in the airing cupboard overnight to dry properly. ‘Put … [Read more...] about Man stunned to find iPhone still works after 10 months at the bottom of a river

Twelve South HiRise 3 Review: There Are Better iPhone Docks
I have strong opinions about iPhone docks, and the new Twelve South HiRise 3 is not a favorite of mine. As neat as it may look, it makes a few design choices I disagree with. Plus it goes against the ethos of the HiRise stands that came before it. Before we get in too deep and emotions run high, let's take a step back to start with the basics of the HiRise 3. The new charging stand for MagSafe compatible iPhones adds an Apple Watch charger to the top and a wireless charger underneath meant for AirPods or any other Qi-compatible device. The device seems reasonable enough at first—those are the things you want charging on a desk or nightstand. I'm not even mad that it doesn't come with a wall charger in the box or that the front MagSafe charger only goes to a maximum speed of 10 watts. (This is compared with 15 watts with official MagSafe or 20 plus watts when wired to a high-speed charger). But once I started using the HiRise 3, it felt like it was trying to differentiate itself … [Read more...] about Twelve South HiRise 3 Review: There Are Better iPhone Docks
