AN ONLINE prankster urging the gullible to drill a hole in their new iPhone 7 hasn’t fooled anyone in Byron Shire.
He has left hundreds of Apple fans elsewhere in the world fuming after convincing them to drill a hole into their brand new iPhone 7 to create a DIY headphone jack.
The YouTuber known as TechRax uploaded the video 10 days ago and has since received 10.3 million views.
Apple copped criticism over the decision to release its newest model with out the headphone jack, instead offering wireless ‘airpods’ for $159.
So when a homemade solution announced you could simply drill your own headphone jack, many people fell victim to the prank.
“I found a perfect solution to this problem guys, it’s a very simple tutorial just follow along,” TechRax, aka Taras Maksimuk, told his followers.
Tightening the handset in a metal vice, the screen starts to flicker but he promises his viewers that it’s “normal”.
