People are DRILLING holes in their iPhones following THIS tutorial

At this stage, we’ve all heard that placing your phone in a bowl of rice will dry it out if it makes contact with water, right?

But did you know that you could create a handy little headphone jack with just a power tool and a total loss of common sense?

Well, you can!

If YouTube is anything to go by, a worrying number of iPhone 7 users have fallen for an online prank which promises to help them create the headphone jack that Apple didn’t deem necessary to include in its latest design.

And depending on your perspective, the prank worked a treat, with the cerebrally challenged among us actually taking a drill to their new device.

“I tried this, and now there's no sound coming out my phone,” lamented one while another explained: “I drilled the hole in it. The headphone doesn't go all the way in.”

“Do I need to drill deeper? Also my phone turned off because of low battery I think. I'm charging it for an hour now it doesn't turn on, is this normal?”

But while some people were getting busy with their drill bits, countless others were feeding into the prank by leaving ‘helpful’ tips on YouTube.

“If you make a horizontal cut with a blade, you can also have expandable memory,” revealed one.

“If you throw your phone off into the Grand Canyon and the put a jack-hammer to it, it gives you unlimited apps for free and unlimited memory!” advised another. “If you throw it into a volcano it will print money!”

You heard him, guys.
