iOS7 adds extra water protection to your device!

[mgsstar]

Don't think this would happen if it were true because if you were using your phone on a rainy day and you get a drop of water on it, does it mean that your phone will turn off immediately?

Imagine ios 7 being waterproof. Wat if we have sweaty hands

[Nick Paviour]

A fake Apple adverts claiming the new iOS 7 software makes iPhones and iPads waterproof has apparently fooled some users into destroying their devices!

MADNESSS

[Liam-McShane]

Sums up people who buy the products...

Haha, this is gold!

 

Some people shouldn't handle electronics.

Guys this is real, I'm under water right now, I got a new app that's telling me my depth is about 2m from the surface. Awesome!

" The prank idea is believed to have originally started on the controversial forum 4Chan." 

4Chan, the dark side of the internet

Ha, I followed the original thread on /b/. Didn't think people would fall for it. Same as with the charging of your iphone5 in a microwave. Some people are really stupid.

[Canoas]

Not necessarily, that would be 100% true if there was no battery in it, but you can't remove an Iphone battery so...

But isn't the battery replaceable?

I want a brick-proof OS

Guys, here's a collection...

Dem stupid and unoriginal people

[Warcony]

As I have said before, I'm not sure what's easier to fool: the 5s fingerprint sensor or Apple's customers.

[beebskadoo]

This is the best thing ever! Just the image of iPhone users 'testing' the water resistance of their phones and being utterly trolled is absolutely priceless!

[Puppet]

But isn't the battery replaceable?

 

Yeah not easily though, but if you drop it into water with a battery attached there's a chance you could brick the phone completely, drying it out isn't guaranteed to work.

[Le Reaper]

Dammit 4chan....(slowly facepalms)

[totjup5]

Haha, this is gold!

How stupid can you be....

[Kilerbomb]

Bahahaha, good job 4Chan. It's the microwave charging epidemic all over again. I love this.

Thats even worse than the morons who thought dialing 911 gets you more battery life.

[kuddlesworth9419]

Look how desperate Apple is getting.

I did run a search beforehand, it never popped up, apologies!

[sof006]

I don't feel sorry for the consumers. They should of used common sense and didn't. I shall laugh at their massive mistake, don't put electronic equipment in water. Ever. Idiots.

[OddlyShapedTree]

This is almost as funny as the Apple water photo on the internet. Still pretty funny.
