CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- A fake advertisement making the rounds on social media tricks some iPhone users into destroying their phones. The phony but official-looking ad claims the new IOS7 software update for the popular devices adds a waterproofing element. It also claims the feature is covered by apple's warranty policy. Several people who tested out the made-up feature took to twitter while others simply re-tweeted the information, adding to the confusion.
