Epic and awesome. Anyone who is too stupid not to know that metal and microwaves = bad deserves what they get imo.

Smarter than Onion.

iPhone even smells like Apple Pie when microwaved.

Coffee, meet Mr. keyboard and Mr. monitor.Wow just, wow. This is the best story I have read in years. For the appropriate audience too.

That's the quickest way to turn your iPhone into a consumable.

A good way of exploiting their stupidity.

If you are dumb enough to waste your money on an iPhone...you are dumb enough to believe and try this. I do not feel sorry for anyone who has done this.

Are you implying intelligence is based on phone brand preference? really?

Anyone who falls for this deserves what happens because obviously they should not have said device if they cannot understand that Electronics and Microwaves do not mix.

 

[Fernando GC]

Hahaha this is great! Too bad that we wont be able to see any of this *****s MW their phone.

That's the quickest way to turn your iPhone into a consumable.

And a combustible.

No, I'm not.

I know boss I was joking.

For the money and for what you get, it is actually easy to judge people by the brand of phone they choose. I wear brand name clothing, but for the quality, not the brand. None of my clothing advertises the brand name. People buy Apple products for the brand name, while the brand used to signify quality and innovation, it has fallen way behind.
