iPhone 7 owners desperate for a headphone jack might be drilling a hole into their shiny new Apple device because of a YouTube video.
Secret Hack to Get Headphone Jack on the iPhone 7 by TechRax isnt meant to be an informational tutorial. It's a joke, but some people aren't laughing. The video directs users to place their new iPhone 7 in a vice and drill a hole into the bottom of the device. Then, plug in earbuds and listen to your favorite song, even though sound doesn't appear to come through the earbuds in the video.
While the new phone is water resistant, it probably won't survive a power drill.
Most all of TechRaxs videos include destroying phones to see what happens, including boiling an iPhone 7 in hot water and shooting paintballs at an iPhone 6S. According to the channel, Tech Rax has been smashing technology since 2011. (TechRax is also the YouTuber behind that Coke and Mentos pool video.)
Taras Maksimuk, @TechRax on Twitter, said he's been getting hate for posting the video.

You not only deserve to lose that money but the warranty voiding consequences that come with it.
