IOS 7 Makes your iPhone Waterproof

[UNA Lion]

Link.

A fake Apple ad has been spreading on social networks, encouraging people to destroy their iPhones, The Independent's James Vincent reports.

The ad, which is uses Apple's same font and clean white background, states:

"Update to IOS 7 and become waterproof." Then it says, "“In an emergency, a smart-switch will shut off the phone’s power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage to your iPhone’s delicate circuitry.” The ad goes on to explain what "iOS" is.

Apparently people fell for it and expressed their outrage on Twitter. One angry tester wrote, "Ok whoever said IOS7 is waterproof GO F*** YOURSELF."

You can't fix stupid.

Really like one of the comments in the linked story:

My wife performs this test on all her new phones and the results have been consistent

too bad it doesn't shock the person who falls for it, what a bunch of idiots.

Goes to show you the Apple lemmings out there. They will believe anything if it is marketed to them like Apple does.

Edit: could also be said about anything, not just Apple products. People don't think for themselves anymore.

Exactly why I changed it.

I bet there are plenty of videos of people trying this. I still don't get the whole "gotta be the first to un-box some device and post it on youtube", but just means someone was trying to be the first to show the waterproof feature and I'm sure they were rolling tape on it.

You mean those ads that pretend like the only way to take a picture or video chat with someone is on an Apple device?
“It’s just so cool.”

Couple of years ago I was talking to someone and they were shocked that I could listen to music on my non-Apple smart phone.
