iPhone Recovered Full Working After 5 Days Covered In Snow And Ice

Brooklyn resident Michael McWatters has shared a story this week via Twitter which explained how whilst walking to his car his six-year-old twins spotted an iPhone embedded in the snow and ice on the ground.

After further investigation and carefully excavating the iPhone from the ice, he discovered that the Home button was completely frozen solid, and due the smartphone not being protected by a case he thought the worst for the iPhone.

“I looked down at the pile of ice (that was previously snow),”-“and saw the iPhone. I got [my son] in the car, opened the trunk, and used a shovel we keep for digging the car out to scrape the phone out.”

Once Michael had arrived at work including the iPhone to a charger and after 30 minutes was surprised to see that the phone had been lost and the phone number that he should call to return it to its original owner.

“About half an hour later I checked and sure enough I got the default message saying this phone was lost with a phone number to call.”

The family of the son who lost the iPhone lives in the apartment right next to Michael’s.

HTC One M9 Gets Official With A Snapdragon 810

After months of leaks and speculations, HTC has finally unveiled their latest flagship device, the HTC One M9, at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona. The handset comes with a similar metallic design as its predecessor, but there are quite a few notable changes in the internals. “HTC has built its reputation on challenging expectations in the mobile industry,” said Cher Wang, Chairwoman, HTC. “The HTC One M9 accomplishes this once again with stunning elegance and design, combined with smart features that help bring your world to life, connecting you in a deeper way to the things you consider most important.

The folks over at WinBeta have managed to get their hands on an early copy of Project Spartan, according to The Verge , and their video walkthrough demonstrates how the browser will see close integration with Cortana, Microsoft’s own Siri-like virtual assistant.

Click on Cortana’s circular symbol, and a side bar is brought up that presents what she found in a tidy format.
