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

Kaloyan, 22 November 2016

A very interesting video went viral today but the reason for its fame isn't because what's its 5 seconds show. On the contrary, playing the video on any iPhone will crash the iOS and you will have to manually restart the phone via the two-key combo.

Various users over Reddit tested the video and each iPhone has crashed shortly after playing the thing. The video creates some kind of a loop because it's corrupt and apparently iOS isn't protected from such a thing. We can confirm it crashed both our iPhones running on iOS 10 lastest public and beta versions.

We are sure Apple is already aware of this and a quick fix is on the way. If you are feeling adventurous you can go and try it on your iPhone. Just hit this link to download it.
