Man you’ve come a long ways I remember that old video

[@TaydoeDolo]

You one of the main reasons I got my first iPhone when I found your channel 😭 every one you broke looked good

[@ironqqq]

That iPhone probably still works. The rear has corrosion of the aluminum case. It's not rust. It's still intact. The connectors and ports have seals, and being underground, the seals likely have not dried out. Once the charge port is cleaned out, charge it up and it will work. The camera is intact because the lens is quartz and is not reactive to galvanic corrosion.

[@DanTheWaitWhar]

Oh my! Tech, that’s so amazing!!! I haven’t watch the vid now, I’m also excited to see if u found another from ur old iPhones

[@Aiden_likes_trains3]

Holy I can’t believe you found the iPhone 6s after 6 years 🤯

[@charlieterrell8501]

You should put it in an epoxy cube. That would be sick to have on your desk as a reminder to so long ago

how did this idea even come to mind🤣 did u just get up one morning and said "let me go find that iPhone from 6 years ago"🤣🤣 i used to love watching your videos back then

[@urmahgurica5851]

@@chrisjlee2013 it’s still very possible it works, with a little bit of restoration and cleaning the boards, it very well can work, the device hasn’t been turned on or running with a charge in so long, the phone hasn’t shorted anything yet, so long the phone is cleaned up properly before being powered on it may be a survivor

[@edualexei4463]

Damn 6 years ago I was 13 years old, times hit different then, i was grade 6 or 7 if I remember correctly, no stress in life, the day seemed long and the night seemed useless, the friends where not so close and emotionally attacked but who cares at least they were, the most joyous thing was when I saved up enough money from 2 days of not eating at school and I could buy myself a big pack of chips, ahhh those were the days, of chilling, finding happiness in small things, getting mad from unimportant things, and basically memories, Now I am a freshman at university I dont believe how fast it goes

[@iForix]

Quality of content aside, let's not ignore the fact he threw a phone with all kinds of (even toxic) materials into a creek, blew it up and left it there for 6 whole years Not an environmentalist, just finding it stupid how people think that's a good idea to get some clicks. And there are way more people who do this unfortunately and even compared to what big corporates do, it's still bad 😔

[@JustT0N3]

No need for environmentalists in this society of explosions

You can restored by buying the new back cover, and might be new battery with lcd..the logic board might be functioning and it’s just only for few couple bucks to changed it.

I’d keep the back cover if I could, the rusted antenna bands look kinda cool.

At least use a tool to remove the stuff from the charging port and then try to start it

Can't imagine it would, but even if it did the safety of the battery would be pretty dubious. Gotta be some swelling there.
