A really bad joke

News on 4chan: This time, however, no nude pictures of celebrities were posted on the Internet platform, but a fake advertisement for the iPhone6.

Many have fallen for the fake advertisement for the supposedly newest feature of the iPhone6 ​​and have tried to charge it in the microwave - with fatal consequences.

Because of course, an iPhone6 ​​or any other iPhone model can not be charged in the microwave . But the ads that users posted on 4chan portal looked so deceptively real that many owners of the latest Apple product took them seriously.

One thing must be left to the creators: they certainly proved their ingenuity and creativity. The display shown on 4chan looks deceptively real. Images, copyright and font were taken over by Apple.

The fake feature is called Wave and should only be available for iOS8. Using the microwave frequencies iPhone6 ​​is to be able to be charged without cable. The ad even includes a safety note: the iPhone6 ​​should not stay in the microwave for more than one and a half minutes. The video below, however, shows what really happens when you try to charge an iPhone in the microwave. Nobody should do that!

Already last year, when the iPhone5 was launched, some jokers misled with a post on 4chang owners of Apple products. Here, the fake advertising turned around that the then new iPhone5 should be waterproof - which of course it is not. But even this extremely bad joke fell victim to many carefree iPhone users.

To make sure you do not feel like it, you should not rely on any Internet posts that entice you with implausible promises, but handle your smartphone the way it does in the enclosed owner's manual. Then nothing should go wrong. At least not like in this video.
