Waterproof iPhone Advert: 'Owners Fooled'



Last Updated: 8:27AM 24/09/2013
A fake Apple advert claiming the new iOS 7 software makes iPhones and iPads waterproof has apparently fooled some users into destroying their devices.
The "advert" circulating on social media sites claims that updating devices with the operating system installs a "smart switch" that cuts off the phone's power supply when water is detected.

This, it claims, "prevents any damage to your iPhone's delicate circuitry".
The advert looks remarkably similar to an authentic Apple advertisement, with the same plain white background and minimalist font and style.

It seems some users have been fooled into dunking their expensive gadgets into water to test out the promised feature, only to render their devices useless.

One user wrote on Twitter: "Whoever said iOS 7 was waterproof **** you."
Another wrote: "OK whoever said iOS 7 is waterproof GO **** YOURSELF."

The prank idea is believed to have originally started on the controversial forum 4Chan.

The iOS 7 software was released last week, and is available as a free upgrade for newer models of the iPhone and iPad.

It provides a series of new features including an overhaul of the interface.
It was released shortly before the new iPhone 5S and 5C models went on sale.

The 5S features a fingerprint unlocking device for extra security. However, a group of German hackers has found a way to bypass the measure.

The group, known as the Chaos Computer Club, says a fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, is enough to create a fake latex finger that could unlock the phone.

Apple has not yet commented.

Perhaps a little cruel but very, very funny.

Well no shit, Sherlock. And darn it if I haven't just run out of glass surfaces and latex.

Some people have waaay too much time on their hands.

Harry why do you carry this chip on your shoulder around at all times? What caused you to have this vendetta against Apple? I dont use their products, but the kids have had Mac Airs for 26 months now and nary a problem one. They have had their I phones what about 15 months, never a problem. The wife got an I pad from the company a year or so ago, nary a problem. But everything else they had before was shit. Especially here in Thailand with all the black market Microsoft shit. What a relief to have a product that is not made with planned obsolescence in mind. Yes they want you to upgrade once a year, but if you dont you still have a very superior well made product.

I dont come on and blow Apples trumpet for our good luck with their products. Yet you just go on and on, and on and on, and then on and on some more, and then just one more time for the hell of it. Why?

There are tons of people who feel just like old Harry does... Its quite funny actually. Some hate all things American, Some have and inferiority complex. And 99% of people who hate Apple or hate Samsung have never used one. I like apple things and I like Samsung things but don't see a real reason to bash on one or the other maliciously.

Right cue the flame.

They're not gonna fool me again- the re-sodding from the last prank I fell for cost a fortune:

And the humourless are pulled in again.

Answer the question, humor is in reality quite subjective. You call it humor I would say freaking boring and repetitious.

Until the battery needs replacing...

I can't speak for Harry but the cultish devotion which Apple inspires in some is (for me) justification for any amount of abuse and piss-taking. All that crap when the Messiah died? Give me a fucking break. If that's not you, then you needn't take it personally; I've got an iPod but I find this kind of thing hilarious (though the fact that those shitheads at Apple have now engineered the iPod so it won't play with Linux means that I'll never again buy one).

No shit, the price of the accessories is exorbitant but they have ya by the balls. When I did get the wrong plug they happily replaced it with many smiles though. Its next month the credit card statement arrives.

Understand and as the post from Marmite says, I was on here a month ago bitching about the price of a freeking plug. I would like to say I have not purchased any products in the last 5 years that have the reliability of Apple. But if I were to break down and buy a smart phone I would not buy an Apple. I have my eye on the Google Nexus made by LG.

This is no rant, I would just like to know what made harry so anti Apple? Is it just jealousy because in reality thats all it could be. If you dont like Apple products dont buy them. Thats the only way to shut them down. Its happening to Blackberry right now.

I just would like to know mate.

What would I be jealous about? Most iphone users I know are as dumb as fuck.

Well I know three that are not.

Same for me. Only dull people use iPhones and they use them as fashion accessories only. Even though they are designed for idiots and very easy to operate, few Apple customers use them to full advantage. It's not possible to discuss these advantages of the Apple product over other makes as they have no idea what their phones can do.

I also have a Nexus 7 and am not particularly happy with that, although it makes a good reader (unfortunately otherwise not especially useful). I think the Apple interface is more intuitive than Google, but that could be just a matter of taste.

Funny then, isn't it, that Apple have just made it more like Google, including (finally) adding decent notifications.

I have purchased 5 of their products for my family over the last 2 and a half years. Nothing has gone wrong save chargers. What are you on as well Papillion? No fashion statement something that lasts. All products save the mac airs were upgraded to IOS 7 with no problems.

Get the plug out of you know where.

you got me wrong, I am a strong supporter of iPhone and iPad, and even Mac air to be used for most users, since 99% of computer users are clueless retards, they shouldn't be allowed near a real computer

toy computers like mac airs and iPad are fine for them though,

iPhone are really a fashion statement these days, they have small screens, crappy interface, iTunes, and don't last long, even with waterproof iOS 7

Only used the mac airs during the flood as my Acer given to me by the university would not work with an aircard. Dont have the products and if you look said I would not buy an I phone.

They were not bought as fashion statements. But for devices that would work and are more compatible with high school and university work around the world.

Nothing major has had a minute of downtime. I too think most of the products are overpriced, but buying Toshiba, Asus, Compaq, and having that frigging Acer I would go Apple for longevity.

Thats all I am saying.

What is your definition of a serious computer then? My server runs headless Slackware and I log in from an OS X terminal, does that count?
