The Great iPhone Massacre 

As if apple would let you charge your phone in a non-Apple microwave.

"I'm stupid please help"

Man, people are stupid. Everybody knows you put your phone in the microwave to dry it not to charge it. You charge it in the toaster.

"I made that design decision..I thought it was funny" If apple had said that...I'd respect them a hell of a lot more

"4chan had an idea" The sentence that creates both terror and entertainment at the same time.

"Im stupid please help" Honest man with funny comment

"Designed to withstand the most demanding environments. Like your pockets." Gonna give HTC the win from that little montage.

Whoever made people think you can charge phones in microwaves, I love you, that right there is just amazing, double damage instead of just ruining a phone in water

The new iPhone has a drone feature. Just turn on airplane mode and throw it into the air. Violà!

"Not waterproof! Now my phones at the bottom of the river!" I mean the ad didnt say it could float

In 4chan's defense, this is just survival of the fittest. If you're that gullible, you deserve a broken iPhone.

My ex sister-in-law microwaved her phone. I laughed in her face. Her friends called me rude for not being sympathetic. They're all idiots.

All these people were drilling on the wrong side, that’s why the couldn’t find the headphone jack.

The anon that suggested 'microwave charging' is still proud to this day.

People microwaving,watering,bending and drilling their phones makes me feel smart

Let's be honest, these hoaxes serve another, far more important purpose. To highlight the dumbest our species has to offer, and to remind us that these people vote.

We made a new iPhone that was idiot proof, then they invented a new idiot

"4chan had an idea" Natural Selection: *breaths heavily*

I love the forum entry: 'I'm not stupid, BUT I put my iPhone in the microwave.' oh do I have news for you.

I love how when people hear about stuff like the waterproof update or the microwave charging they're like "Oh! Let me test it!" Instead of "that'll probably be helpful at some point."

so basically, 4chan is good at marketing and people should stop trusting the internet

the sentence '4chan had an idea' is enough to rip whole planets apart.

"fire is normal, don't stop" is your wakeup call

02:54 i'm stupid please help. this is a mood

A girl at my school tried to charge her phone in the microwave. So there was at least ONE

How did you not mention the genius that made a "Body Scale" app for ipad and got a bunch of people to crush their tablets

I love how Samsung has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to their phones being water resistant. People were doing it to their Samsung.. and the phone would be fine. I drunkenly went swimming with mine a few times and nothing happened. Meanwhile, the amount of drama and memes from the Apple community was so juicy.

This has aged incredibly well. Let's do it again.

I love the fact that, after these people microwaved their phones or drilled headphone jacks into them, they had to go to something called “The Genius Bar”

"4chan had an idea" NEVER a sentence you want to hear.

Only OGs remember when this vid had an intro with video game and movie torture scenes

One of my class mates a few years back put his phone in the microwave because his friend told him it would charge it, his defence was that you always trust what your friend says..... I was like no, no you don't.

"I was baptised twice, once in water, once in flame" -Joshua Graham, the man with the immortal phone

"It's not a bug, it's a feature", sounds like something Bethesda would say lol

Don't forget the OS bug in 2014 where you could send a string of charcters that would force restart/crash the recipients phone. That was a fun couple weeks

There was an old local joke that if you place a teaspoon in the USB port your computer reads it like a 3 mb flash drive. People use to post that in chat rooms and just watch idiots "go offline"

Just remember, these people can vote.

Schools have failed when adults believe software would make devices waterproof, that ram can be downloaded, and microwaves can charge phones

i was in the thread when the microwave charging post was made. microwave charging. that's literally all he said. two words caused a literal meltdown of iphones worldwide. such genius. i only wish i could achieve this level of intelligence and trollery at the same time.

“I’m stupid, please help” is the best quote ever.

Apple probably loved 4chan for this because people had to buy more iPhones

“Bend it like Beckham” was pure genius

The "I'm stupid, please help" post always gets me

And this is folks why those warning labels exist.

I heard that there is a new app that transforms your iPhone into a soda fountain if you dip the phone in soda and leave it to absorb the bevarage for 15 minutes

Let's be honest here. If Apple released that 'iPhone XD', people would still buy it.

Oh how the pricing aged poorly

And people say android users are dumb.

if you dont have enough storage, just put your iphone in the freezer. the new smr-flash technology allows your files to become smaller as the phone cools down!

"The public education system did not produce an educated public."

12MB, 13MB & 128GB was the best bit

Not surprised with all the tomfoolery. Same generation that decided to ingest toe pods was a great idea.

"Everything went without a hitch, until 4chan got involved." The whole internet summarized in one sentence.

My mum isn't stupid enough to microwave her phone She dropped it into a toaster like a normal person

4chan is the only supervillain we need.

You left out the true massacre, people born between 1999 and 2006 entering high school. Many Iphones from the iphone 4 to iphone 7 became hand-me-downs to those kids. This would end up being the equivalent to Order 66 but for older Iphones, many phones being dropped left right and centre with the screens being shattered or the phones even splitting in half in some cases because a dude threw it as a joke, one even got dropped from the top of the building. Not even my Iphone 6 made it through this great Iphone purge (I accidentally dropped it in the toilet)

Don't forget the "send me to heaven" game that gave you a high score for how long you could keep your device in the air. It was written by someone who hated apple and wanted to trick idiots into throwing their devices and smashing them.

I love how 4chan has revived the "computers for people too stupid to own computers" stereotype of Apple customers.

I feel like this entire saga could be the perfect advertisement for anything other than public school

I know it’s an old video, but I would like to vindicate TechRax, he was joking when he said you could get the headphone jack by drilling into it. In fact, he had debunked a lot of these claims by filming himself doing them for entertainment. It’s all just a joke.

I like how one of the comments said that their iPhone was at the bottom of a river. Karen, even if it were waterproof, the ad never said it would float

Microwave Charging *"Fire is normal. don't stop."*

The Apple bendgate thing is really quite funny. Im rewatching this on a Z Flip 3

Damn, you really know how to start your videos with a flash of stress. Great video, loved every second except the first 7.

Is like that time kids were looking to "download more RAM"

The best thing is in the Apple Wave Trailer at 1:59 it literally says 'fire is normal don't stop'

Commenting after 3rd rewatch

Gotta admit, it's fascinating to see all the different results people got from sticking their phones into microwaves. Some phones completely die and some don't, some kinda sorta work but can't play sound, or have busted screens... It's so diverse!

Natural selection

"It's not a bug,it's a feature" "They're not lootboxes they're suprise mechanics"

I remember in the era before androids and well honestly most mobile phones, there was a simmilar scam with charging alkaline batteries in the microwave. People fell for that too.

4chan sounds like the embodiment of the Chaotic Evil alignment

“How they were able to call the police I haven’t quite figured out” That made me laugh harder than it should’ve

4chan was just testing Darwins theory of natural selection

This video gets recommended again at the perfect time

I love how even the waterproofing hoax wasn't enough to convince apple to actually make their phones, which are pretty much all flagships, waterproof to this day.

Lmao at least no one's going to fall for 4chans new hoax. No amount of stupid is going to buy a monitor stand for $999. ...wait, that one isn't a hoax?

You guys remember people pissing on their phones for pregnancy tests? And when people thought that they could be used as digital scales? Lol.

I rewatched this video countless times, and yet the intro still triggers my anxiety.

The day 4chan gets censored or blocked is the day we can say for sure we live in an authoritarian dystopia.

By far the best TED Talk I've seen in a while.

Never believe everything you see in the internet - Abraham Lincoln

If an ad said "fire is normal please continue" or "bend me over daddy" how do people actually think its real

Ugh. Savannah, GA - Always showing off our big brains 😄The amount of local stories WTOC had to run about microwaving your phone was mind blowing!

These are so funny. 4chan is the definition of chaotic evil with the occasional chaotic good sprinkled in.

this is what happens when your phone is smarter than you are.

This is just 4chan paying homage to the intelligence of apple users.

I just Love this New 2022 Video from The Internet History In. Well Done!

i rewatch this video way too often i love it so much

I feel like the people who do this deserved it. Like come on. Obviously that sucks but if you’re going to spend hundreds of dollars on something and then microwave it because the internet said so and you didn’t look it up, clearly there’s something wrong.

Did I just see Steve jobs with an anime body pillow

3:56 it literally said "use you teeth" 😂😂

oh my god the call in the intro brought so much nostalgia wth

iPhone XD, now with your own personal CIA agent monitoring your calls, texts, Internet history, and even personal life to improve your apple experience.

This is the only useful thing TechRax has ever done

Didn't even know about these fake ads until this video. Great video.

Quickly became my favorite channel tbh
