I don't see what they did wrong. It worked fine for me.

My god, people. Just because these people whom *happen* to have iPhones think fall for this doesn't make every single iPhone user stupid. Me for example: I think that I used to be gullible and I wouldn't fall for this crap! If there were hoaxes like this for Android/Windows/Blackberry/ANY OTHER KIND OF PHONE, some people would fall for it too! Not every iPhone user is stupid, and not every stupid person uses an iPhone (not counting people who don't own a cellphone). Do all of you pathetic people have nothing better to do than belittle others? If you ask me, you're the stupid ones. Before you leave an angry (or some other emotion) reply, no, I'm not an "Apple cultist," I just want to beat common sense into your brain. I'm all for equality, even if I become what I'm trying to stop. There's no specific group of people who are stupid (unless that group of people is just stupid people). Every group of people has someone stupid (unless it's smart people) and someone smart. Let's just go with that, okay? Is shutting up for once too much to ask of you people?

So if you microwave a Nokia, will the microwave break?

It will explode and you will get a text message saying "That all you got?"

Apple cultists are so pitiful.

Just goes to show you that Apple targets morons who don't know anything about the nature of the technology they (Apple) sell.

You can tell an Apple customer anything, and they'll readily believe it. Especially since they are so impossibly smug that the reason for all that gullibility is the fact they think Apple products are just the greatest.

Of course they're the greatest. They plagiarize only the very best features.

My coworker told me that an Apple "Genius" told her that the iPhone doesn't have a battery like "other phones".

She believed him 100% and even tried to argue me on the point finally conceding defeat with a "Yeah, whatever".

Yes, your iPhone is powered solely by magic and smugness.

My only issue with this is that usually you put things into a higher wattage microwave for less time, not more.

This is why you pay attention in school in your science classes, people. God the stupidity. How a microwave works should just be common knowledge.

Since when has a standard Apple user been known to be someone tech-savvy?

Wireless energy movement with transference from microwaves to electricity works just fine.

I don't think anyone is questioning whether it is possible to harness microwaves to produce electricity. More the feasibility. Even if a smartphone is properly equipped to do so, I don't see any smartphone of the near future not frying from being bombarded by a ~1 kilowatt microwave.

Here's some perspective: My Samsung Galaxy S5 charger has a maximum operating output voltage of 5.3 volts and output current of 2.0 amps. 5.3volts*2.0amps equals 10.6 watts. I'm sure iPhones and other smart phones are comparable.

Can't really pump 100 times the amount of energy per second that your device is rated to charge at and not expect something to go wrong regardless of the method. If someone handed you a modified charger rated at 10 times the voltage and 10 times the current, would you use it?

Edit: I did some maths wrong, but the correct maths just further prove my point.

The higher the wattage of the microwave oven, the longer it takes to charge the battery?

4chan is at It Again With Their Trolling of iPhone Users

Last year, 4chan tricked iOS 7 users into thinking the OS update made their iPhones waterproof.

And, amazingly, people bought it.

And weren't exactly happy with the results.

This year? Microwaves.

Shortly after, enterprising shoopers whipped up this clever little infographic.

Next phase of the mission: make it popular.

Really popular.

News outlets began to get wise to 4chan's ruse, but it was already too late.

And finally, the aftermath...
