Why This Viral Video Is Convincing People to Drill Holes Into Their Brand-New iPhones

A new viral video is convincing people to drill holes into their brand-new iPhone 7 with the promise that a secret headphone port lies beneath the surface. It's definitely a prank, though it's understandable why some people don't think it is, since it uses a tech tutorial format.

The "tutorial" claims that you can re-create the iPhone's usual headphone port by simply drilling a small hole in the same location to the left of the lightning port.

By the end of the video, the finished product doesn't look the slightest bit polished. However, the fake demonstration at the end was enough for people to quickly follow suit and try it for themselves. Naturally, it didn't work and ended up ruining people's phones.

The video currently has over 10 million views. Thankfully, the comments are now more populated with people who realize that it is, in fact, a joke. Seriously — don't try it. AirPods cost a whole lot less than a new phone.
