Men improvise MagSafe compatible fishing rod to pull 5G iPhone 12 Pro out of a canal

In Berlin, an Apple iPhone 12 Pro user discovered a new use for the MagSafe line of accessories. Instead of using the strong magnets inside the iPhone 12 series to attach a battery charger, a wallet, or another accessory to the back cover, this gentleman used it to go fishing for the iPhone 12 Pro that his friend dropped in a canal in Berlin. The story was told over Twitter by Frederik Riedel, an app developer and a friend of the butterfingered man who dropped his handset in the mud filled canal.
