Fish farmers amazed finding iPhone 16 inside dead fish

Fish farmers amazed finding iPhone 16 inside dead fish

2026-05-20

A fish farm owner in Kaohsiung was quite shocked when he found an iPhone 16 Pro Max inside the belly of one of his fish. How did the phone get there? Well, last September, a reporter was conducting an interview at the farm when a giant grouper leapt out of the water and knocked the phone out of his hand. The device was sent flying into the pond, where another massive grouper gulped it down. The reporter thought his phone was lost forever, but now it’s reemerged, and it remains to be seen whether it still works.

The phone is in bad shape, completely corroded and heavily scratched after spending more than eight months inside the belly of a giant grouper.

These marks were caused because the grouper still had to eat fish, and their bones rubbed against the phone as the fish digested and moved around.

Last September, a reporter surnamed Chen was covering a story about seafood production at this fish farm in Kaohsiung when a giant grouper leapt out of the water without a warning and knocked his iPhone 16 into the fish pond. In the blink of an eye, another enormous 1.5m grouper swallowed the phone in one gulp. A few months later, the 23-year-old fish died, and during an examination to determine the cause of death, workers were stunned to find the missing phone still in its belly.

Fish ate iPhone
I had completely given up hope on ever seeing it again. When I heard the phone had reappeared, I mostly just wanted to see what condition it was in. But I was also a bit sad to learn that the fish had died.

It was soaked in saltwater for eight months. We’re letting it dry naturally first in hopes of giving the owner the best possible chance of turning it back on.

The fish farm operators were amazed by the discovery and quickly contacted Mr. Chen. Together, they will hold a “power-on ceremony” on May 22 to see whether the iPhone still works after 8 months inside a fish. Hold your breath for a miracle.

巨大龍膽石斑"一口吞iPhone" 8個月後開腸剖肚尋回

2026-05-20

去年9月份,高雄一名記者前往永安一處漁場採訪,拍攝過程中,手中的iPhone16手機,被躍出水面的龍膽石斑,撞進魚池裡,立刻被另一隻巨型龍膽石斑吞下肚,如今這隻龍膽石斑意外過世,漁場主將牠剖開,竟然發現iPhone16還在魚肚中,直呼超驚奇。

看看從夾鏈袋裡拿出的手機,整隻已經鏽蝕,螢幕也嚴重刮傷,因為它可是在一隻龍膽石斑的肚子裡待了8個多月。

“這個痕跡是因為龍膽石斑,牠還是必須要吃魚,可能是魚骨頭在消化蠕動的時候,跟手機產生摩擦”

去年9月份,一名採訪食材產地的陳姓記者,到高雄永安這一處漁場採訪,拍攝過程中,一隻龍膽石斑躍出水面,把記者手中的iPhone16撞進魚池裡,當下立刻被另一隻150公分的巨型龍膽石斑吃下去。直到日前,這隻養了23年的龍膽石斑突然死亡,場方為了了解死因,將魚剖開,沒想到居然從魚肚中,驚喜的找回這支iPHONE。

“已經對它不抱任何期待,收到消息說手機又再出現,只是很想看看手機變成什麼樣子,但聽到魚死了,還是覺得有點傷心”

[[養殖場執行長 賴文華]]
“它在海水裡面浸泡了8個月,所以我們的確在自然風乾,讓它能夠以比較好的情況之下,讓主人開機”

漁場業者相當驚訝,立刻跟手機主人陳先生聯絡,雙方也約定要在5月22日舉辦開機儀式,究竟手機在魚肚裡住了8個多月,還能不能使用,要一起見證奇蹟時刻。
