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.
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.
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…”
I’m sure this was not a funny joke to those that drilled holes in their phone!
Yeah, people should have known better, but so should the maker of the video.
The reason I hate practical jokes, someone gets the short end of the joke.
Some people are really f–king stupid.
It’s a good thing that breathing is an instinctive, autonomous action. Otherwise some folks would forget to do it and die of asphyxiation.
“As a result some desperate viewers were duped into destroying their new handsets with the cruel DIY tip.”
The primary function of ANY phone is to make (or receive) phone calls, is it not?
Anyone too stupid to make a simple call (usually toll-free) to the manufacturer to determine whether this info was legitimate or not… will garner no sympathy from me.
idiots

YOURS TOO BROTHER? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This just goes to show how stupid people really are these days. No wonder the New World Order has no problems deceiving the flocks of clueless sheep.
I am still laughing my a$$ off. Classic.
That’s what happens when you keep a phone glued to your head, you become to stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time.
First clue….stupid people pay top dollar for a Crapple product that wants to control you.
Second clue…see first clue!
