Cell phones at the beach

[Doug H]

Today I found an iPhone in the surf and when digging it out I tore the screen up. It wont power up or anything and I think it's been in the water for a while. But my question is, if I turn it in to an apple store can they find the owner and can they pull the pictures or videos off of it for the owner or is it just trash at this point. Thanks for any replies.

its trash

No phone company will help find a phones owner as it is a privacy issue. Even if they do accept it from you it still ends up in the dumpster.

Hate to throw it away if they can get someone's pictures and videos back to them.
