While that might seem obvious to some people, others have fallen for the “Wave” hoax making its way around online. The fake advertisement insists that the new iOS 8 allows users to charge their iPhones by placing them in a “household microwave for a minute and a half.”

Microwave energy will not charge your smartphone. To the contrary, it will scorch the device and render it inoperable. If you nuke your smartphone and subsequently complain about it online, people will probably make fun of you.

You have to wait for the iPhone 6s for microwave charging. What a dufus.

[Raycpa]

I think you have to wrap the phone in tin foil first.

[tet68]

Sure, you can recharge it in a regular oven but it
takes hours...

"I think you have to wrap the phone in tin foil first."

And Dear Abby tells readers to be sure and poke the iPhone several times with a fork, so that steam can escape.

Keep refreshing Apple.com; people are getting thru and buying them that way.

Are you aware that the “Verizon” model of the iPhone has the GSM side of it unlocked? If that one isn’t available, the “TMobile” version is also GSM unlocked.

This is “ climate change” level science.

Heh, Obama voters, no doubt.

You're only supposed to leave it in for one minute and twenty-nine seconds. Anyone who listened to the hoax killed their phone by overcharging it.

[Hatteras]

No, seriesly, it WORKS! But you have to wrap it in nice soft marshmallows first to protect the sensitive screen.

[Brother Cracker]

Somebody got it wrong.It's the android phone that will charge in a microwave.

Introducing the iCrowave! Tell swordmaker....

[loungitude]

For a long time, and way back when, I kept a ‘research’ old microwave out in the garage. The best was loosely fluffed up coarse bronze wool. Not steel wool. It’s a good time, although I suspect that x-rays may be produced. So be mindful of that.

[CodeToad]

ROFLMAO!

Some people are just plain stupid.
