There’s even a little sticker inside that changes color when it’s been exposed to magma so the Genius knows that the source of the damage isn’t covered under Applecare.

Also: try not to drop your phone onto cold lava. It’s hard and tends to scratch up the screen.

Whoever stuck it in there on purpose to begin with - I’m assuming that’s what happened, given how it was wedged in there.

If you MUST have the phone,a more solid, less flammable lever than a wooden stick should be used to try and pry the lava off it.

Lava is so dense it “swallows” stuff in an almost malevolent way.
And it’s really cool to watch it flow over stuff like grass, causing bubbles of gas to develop within the mass that exit as these neat little explosive jets of searing hot stuff right out of the otherwise placid surface.
