Good day all, this is the Angry Systems Administrator. Recently, Apple released their latest version of the Iphone. One of the major differences is this version doesn\u2019t have a headphone jack in it.<\/p>\n

\"The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The idea is that Apple will be able to rake in more money by forcing their fans to buy a wireless set of earbuds. These will cost significantly more to buy and will require recharging. Then there is the issue of losing them. Personally, I rank this right down with fixed batteries in cellphones, as Samsung has recently discovered.<\/p>\n

Well, someone decided to pull the wool over the eyes of the Apple fanboys and girls with a video on how to create a 3.5mm headphone jack. It involves a power drill and a 3.5mm drill bit. Here is the tutorial:<\/p>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5tqH-Un9SFU’]<\/p>\n

Umm, yeah. That really isn\u2019t the way to install a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, since these are Apple Fans, and they aren\u2019t noted for their great technical prowess, (Otherwise they wouldn\u2019t be paying for overpriced, locked down junk), some of these \u201cGeniuses\u201d actually tried to drill out a jack on there brand new, very expensive Iphones. According to The Sun<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A fake YouTube video claiming to show users how to get the much-missed sound input has gone viral \u2013 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. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Needless to say drilling a hole into your iPhone<\/a> will leave you with a very broken handset – and not the promised addition. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"captain_obvious\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"shocked-face\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, there were people stupid enough to drill out and destroy their Iphones. Here are a few examples, courtesy of The Sun<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"stupid<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, it gets better, for varying degrees of \u201cbetter\u201d.<\/p>\n

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. <\/b><\/p>\n

“I checked and it was the 3.5mm drill, so I made no mistake there! What happened? Any of you have the same problem?” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"DV<\/a><\/p>\n

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? <\/b><\/p>\n

“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.
\n“Thanks for all the help guys…” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"stupid_meter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no doubt that one of these morons will try and sue whoever created the video. If this ends up in front of a judge, he or she should laugh out loud, in the faces of the plaintiff and the attorney stupid enough to take the case and toss it out of the courtroom. Then contact the State Bar, (Or it\u2019s British equivalent), and tell them that the lawyer is to stupid to be in the profession and would they do something about it please?<\/p>\n

There is a reason I\u2019ve stayed away from Apple products. Using them lowers your IQ levels significantly along with reducing your common sense levels to near zero. Hmm, I wonder…Has anyone done a study of what phone Darwin Award winners use? I suspect they are Iphones.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
