More proof that humanity as a species may be doomed: a prank YouTube video claiming to show how drilling into an iPhone 7 will reveal its hidden 3.5mm headphone jack has apparently been fooling owners of Apple’s latest handset.
The viral clip, which comes from TechRax, has already gained close to 10 million viewers. According to the many comments beneath the video, a few people didn’t realized this is all a joke and have attempted the “secret hack,” which will ruin the waterproofing at best or destroy the phone at worst.
A lot of the comments that claim to have used the drill method are obviously fake and just joking about it themselves, but there are doubtlessly some who have actually given it a try - only to instantly regret it.
Ukrainian YouTuber Taras Maksimuk, who is based in Sacramento, California, produced the video. Looking at the titles of his other clips - “can the iPhone 7 survive in liquid nitrogen for five minutes?” and "What Happens If You Microwave an iPhone 7?” – shows how he “specializes in smashing technology for your pleasure.”
In the video, once the hole is drilled, music can be heard coming from the iPhone, though this is obviously coming from the speakers. But the 87,000 downvotes suggest there are at least some iPhone 7s now with DIY holes in them.
From the Xbox One backward compatibility prank, to the iOS 7 update that waterproofs iPhones, to microwaving handsets as a way of extending their battery life, this isn’t the first case of people pranking others into destroying tech, and it won’t be the last.

Replacing it with better technology they say
Apparently the normal headphone jack is shit quality compared to what is possible using different newer technology

Because then people wouldn't need to buy a super expensive pair of wireless headphones with their thousand dollar phone...

Pretty much. They have a loyal customer base that seem to buy their crap regardless so why make it cost efficient when you can put out 2 new phones a year

The best part is that the headphones they are trying to push off onto their customers will absolutely have worse quality than a cheap chinese 3.5mm jack because bluetooth has a certain amount of latency no matter what you are doing. Also the battery life will suffer. Take into account the software latency that all smart phones suffer from, this is going to bite them in the ass I'm sure.

There's gotta be someone who brings a lawyer into this to sue the guy who made the video. Watch.

I had not thought of that but I could totally see it being the case. It does seem strange that a wireless connection could surpass a good ol' cord...

You are probably right... I feel bad for anyone who was so frustrated with their new phone they took a drill to it hoping this would work

Similar reasoning to why they don't include an SD card slot. "Oh but the internal storage is much faster/better." (Except the extra speed makes zero difference for many of the things you might need extra storage for.)

They appeal to an elitist mentality of hardware purchasers. My phone is expensive and sets me apart from having to use arcane methods, like wires, to listen to Nikki menage.
