Is this the 2016 version of natural selection?

Despite what you may have seen on YouTube, drilling into your iPhone will not make it so you can use conventional headphones.

Recently, a video is trolling the entirety of the Apple consumer base by showing how iPhone users can do some DIY, with a drill and a clamp. The guy opens the video by saying:

“A lot of people have been complaining recently that the new iPhone 7 lacks the iPhone jack. It’s something that’s been on every generation iPhone: it’s not there any more. I found a perfect solution to this problem, guys, it’s a very simple tutorial, just follow along.”

Just… just watch the video.

I mean…who would fall for this?

This is the equivalent of me drilling into my computer screen for an extra audio jack. People were stunned when their phones stopped working after drilling through the bottom of it.

Comments we’re among the like of:

“WTF?? F**k you! My screen turned black the moment I started drilling, now I can’t even open it.”

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WAITD TILL MY DAD WAS SLEEP THEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE AND GOT HIS DIRLL AND DID THIS ND NOW MY IPHONE WONT NOT EVEN WORK!!!!! YOU ARE SUCH ASCUM BAG WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS IM GOING TO MAEK SURE YOURE UTUBE CHANNEL IS GETS SHUT DOWN.”

And my favourite:

I hate humanity.

I’m done.
