There is a 5sec video that will render any iPhone inoperable

22 November 2016
A forced restart will fix the issue, but the loophole still remains.

    Im sick and tired of reading comments from people who deride other peoples choice of handset, what concern is it of yours what people spend their money on? Its not your money, it in no way affects you, so what right do you have to judge others so harshly because they believe in their product? Whether you splash out $800 on an iphone or a google pixel, paying that much isn't easy unless you genuinely believe you're getting the right product for your money. Apple in particular take a hell of a lot of flak from people who wouldn't even give their products a chance before they regard them as awful. If someone else buys an iphone or a samsung and then says they love it, good! It means they didn't throw their money away, be happy for them, instead of finding a reason to bash their comments and potentially make them question their choice, you have no right to make others feel bad about their own choice of handset. For shame.

      MacBooks are the only thing worth buying from Apple and you to buy 2015 models or prior to have all the ports. Even iMacs aren't worth it since you lose the portability of a MB. I still don't understand why it is so easy to drag and drop files with OSX but it isn't done with iOS unless I open iTunes. I prefer a folder system. Android File Transfer and MacBooks work like a dream together. Fast drag and drop.

      I don't care if iPhones become inoperable since they have been so un-PC for nearly a decade now. I am more fascinated by the Google Andromeda laptop next year than I am with any smartphone like the Note8 and iPhone 8. People need to remember how much more wonderful it is to type on laptops again and how easily it is to browse with the full site and view media without needing a kickstand. You just lose portability but you also gain benefits that neither a smartphone and tablet can provide.

          Your statement is invalid.. iOS 10, latest version took literally hours to get Jailbroken. Just that it was not released to the General public so people like you keep dreaming iOS is the "bestest" crap ever.

                          security was one of the reasons why iszit used to be good(other people were simply dumb and bough it because of no spine and the fact that so many others had it).
                          Andy isn't perfect but at least you are free to customize it and you dont have to pay $$$$$$$$ to have a smartphone.
                          peace

                                  [deleted post]Why do iPhone users get the impression that Android users choose Android and not iOS because they cannot afford an iPhone?
                                  I wouldn't use iOS even if they payed me monthly..
                                  On a second thought, I'm gonna buy one and send you a YouTube link to see how I slowly destroy and torture it :D
