CLUELESS iPhone 7 users have been tricked into DRILLING a hole into their phone in a bid to get a headphone jack.
A fake YouTube video claiming to show users how to get the much-missed sound input has gone viral – with many unknowing victims following its lead.
iPhone 7 users have been tricked into drilling a whole in their new handsets by a cruel YouTube video
Users were told to take a 3.5mm drill to make a hole in the handset where a headphone jack used to appear
Owners have copied the video’s instructions to place the phone in a clamp and take a 3.5mm drill to where the headphone hole used to be.
Needless to say drilling a hole into your iPhone will leave you with a very broken handset – and not the promised addition.
Apple’s newest model has ditched the jack in favour of bluetooth headphones to make more room for internal hardware.
But customers have been left angry at the decision – with some taking extreme measures to bring back the old hole.
As a result some desperate viewers were duped into destroying their new handsets with the cruel DIY tip.
Clueless users then complained their phones had stopped working after falling victim to the prank
Furious James Ceja commented on the video: “I tried this and ended up with display destruction and it not working… I really committed the biggest mistake of my life by watching this video.”
David Iriarte added: “A friend of mine told me it worked for him, but my iPhone won’t turn on after I drilled the hole for the jack.
“I checked and it was the 3.5mm drill, so I made no mistake there! What happened? Any of you have the same problem?”
Toekneechair questioned: “Ok I am sure it’s in the comments somewhere but my friend told me to ask what size drill bit am I supposed to use?
“Also I don’t have that clamp thingy, can I or my friend hold it while we drill? I don’t want to ruin my phone.
“Thanks for all the help guys…”
“A person stupid enough to believe this would be too dumb to know how to use a drill.”
But they vote! That’s got to be worse!
“Anyone who tells you oil and water don’t mix hasn’t run it through a hydraulic pump yet...”
At BMW they have a “genius” that goes over the entire car before you leave the shop with it. The genius asked the wife if she ever changed her own oil. After she said no, the genius said, “Well, then, this lever here that opens the hood is called a Husband Handle. You never touch it.”
ARF!
Her car is a SKY redline, I’ve gotten to maybe drive that thing 750 miles of the ~165,000 on it now. I try to stay on top of its maintenance because I imagine that one of these springs I’m going to have the time to hijack it for a weekend of ripping it up over some of these mountain roads out here...
It definitely has some pricier parts/repairs as far as Saturns went (we had 5), might be an AC compressor ready to seize that’s been heating it up some of late...
