Silly Mac heads.... No wonder why so many of these iPhones are sold around the world.

It's not because they're popular or any good.... It's because the same bunch of idiots keep dunking their iPhones, putting them into microwaves and everything else they hear about that ends up destroying their phone.... So they keep buying new ones over and over again thinking they must have read the instructions wrong.

These "Fake" ads are probably done by Apple and released by friends of employees.

Oh and guess what?

Watch out: iPhone 6 Plus could accidentally bend in your pocket

^ This is actually true and not a joke.

It will make my phone work with a soon to be released Apple watch. :)

I actually really like the looks of those watches, lol.

The only thing that android has that apple phone should have is a user changeable battery!
They both have built in apps that I don't need or want.

Besides which, it's just a phone and no one is forcing it on anyone, lol. I don't see why some get so twisted over it. Reminds me a bit of those old vicious Star Wars/Star Trek debates back in the day. :D

I have a bit of experience with both, because my wife has an android Sony....she wanted it because it's nice and thin...
Maybe it's because I was used to the Ipod, I find the iphone easier to use...And I had to learn everything I could, because my wife is technologically challenged and I have to clean it up and fix it once in a while because she has the bad habit of picking it up the wrong way out of her handbag....meaning a finger on one side and thumb on the other instead of by the edges.....touching thscreen in the wrong place will switch things of or on that you don't want to.
But the battery life is just amazing on that thing....twice a week is enough and she uses it a lot.

Yep the iPhone batteries do suck. But if you get into a charging habit, it's not that big of a deal. I plug mine in every night.

I like my iPhone, no interest in going to another brand....at least not yet. I like the way it works, I have a lot of Apple products and they work well together, I don't have to muck around with anything....which is exactly what I wanted. I did that for years.....and now I'm done, lol.

Northern Ontario,
Once a month on the second day after a full charge I run it down playing videos or game until it shuts itself off. Maybe that's why my battery is still good after ....what is it? 4 years? It's a 4S.

I'm still good for two days of normal use after all this time.

Damn. You beat me to it. I was also going to say that it probably really IS Apple making the ad. That way, they can get them to continue purchasing more phones (as they won't get a free replacement for microwave-death).

iPhone users target of 'Wave' microwave-charging hoax

Published Tuesday, September 23, 2014 10:49AM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, September 23, 2014 12:23PM EDT A fake Apple ad making the rounds online claims that iPhone users can charge their devices wirelessly in the microwave.
The ad, which shares many design characteristics with official Apple advertising, describes a new 'Wave' feature in iOS 8, the latest mobile operating system released for Apple's mobile device users.
"You can now Wave-charge your device by placing it within a household microwave for a minute and a half," reads the post. "iOS 8 contains new drivers that interface with your device's radio-baseband allowing it to synchronize with microwave frequencies and use them to recharge our batter."


If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Putting your phone in the microwave could ruin both the phone and the oven within seconds.
Nevertheless, some people have posted on social media about their failed attempts to Wave-charge their phones. Rather than quick-charging their devices, people claimed the results were a burnt phone and a microwave fire.



The prank appears to have originated on the online bulletin board 4chan, where people wrote posts suggesting they had successfully charged their phones in microwaves.



This isn't the first time users have destroyed their phones over a fake promo. An Apple-styled ad made the rounds online last year, suggesting iPhones would become waterproof after they were updated to iOS 7. That inspired some outraged tweets, including one person who said their phone ended up at the bottom of a river.


Well, right off the bat you got to know that anyone who spends $500 for a phone has got to be stupid!.
