Fake ad making the rounds on social media claims you can charge your iPhone in a microwave

[Half Monk 697]

Are you familiar with Apple Wave, the revolutionary new charging feature that’s bundled with iOS 8? It uses microwave frequencies to charge your phone. All you need to do for a rapid recharge is place your iOS 8 device in a microwave for a minute and a half. Wait, what?

 

 

That’s the gist of a bogus iOS 8 ad currently making the rounds on social media. As Digital Trends points out, the ad originated from the 4chan message boards – the same group responsible for the iOS 7 waterproof ad last year.

 

While virtually nobody that reads this site would fall for such a thing, I’m sure most of us could think of at least a couple of people in our lives that might be gullible enough to give it a try.

 

And just so you can’t say I didn’t say so, don’t put your iDevice in the microwave.
