Summary
An iPhone 16 Pro kept filming after slipping from a yacht into the sea off Athens and emerged undamaged when a diver retrieved it 11 minutes later.
Farhat said the phone fell about 4 meters after slipping through a net, and the diver spotted it by the light from the video still recording underwater.
Apple rates the model IP68 for immersion up to 1.5 meters in freshwater, making its survival in deeper seawater especially notable.
Farhat edited the footage into an Instagram post that drew 13.5 million views and 3.7 million likes in three days, with viewers praising the video quality and fish shots.
