An ad promising a waterproof iPhone with the recent iOS 7 update started out funny, but have turn into a cruel joke since people mistook them for real advertisements!
The joke ads claimed that the latest update to iOS 7 would make the device instantly waterproof as well. “In an emergency, a smart-switch will shut off the phone’s power supply and corresponding components to prevent any damage to your iPhone’s delicate circuitry,” the ad read.
Unfortunately, a lot of people didn’t know that this was only a joke and so tried drowning their iPhones in water to see if they had become waterproof. Needless to say, there are now a lot of unhappy iPhone users in the market for a new device.
Would you have believed this ad if you hadn’t known it was fake?
