    A fake Apple ad has been spreading on social networks, encouraging people to destroy their iPhones, The Independent's James Vincent reports.

    The ad, which is uses Apple's same font and clean white background, states:

    "Update to IOS 7 and become waterproof." Then it says, "�In an emergency, a smart-switch will shut off the phone�s power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage to your iPhone�s delicate circuitry.� The ad goes on to explain what "iOS" is.

    Apparently people fell for it and expressed their outrage on Twitter. One angry tester wrote, "Ok whoever said IOS7 is waterproof GO F*** YOURSELF."

    Another: "wft #iOS7 isn't waterproof!!! now my phones at the bottom of the river."


    Here's the spoof ad, below:

    This my friends are definitely ordinary customers.

    Every prosumer would have never fallen for that....

    Unfortunately I don't think there are that many people left with common sense or understanding of technology.... We are 60 million and decreasing ;-)

    I kid you not. I know someone who bought an iphone and never even knew it had a browser

    She thought I was just for facebook. She bought because everyone else had one. She really doesn't even care for the data plan and doesn't even use it beyond phone calls and txting.


    ....it's a status symbol for many

    Very true. My lil sister left BlackBerry for an iPhone. It wasn't that it was better (she has had a number of them break) but all her friends have iPhones

    This forum's obsession with the iPhone can be quite tiresome.

    Note to all, the iPhone is not the cause of BB's problems, BB is. Though Android has made it very difficult for BB to succeed.
