Guy Microwaves New iPhone 5, Sells Broken Device for $3000

 

After spending hundreds of dollars and taking trouble of pre-ordering it online or buying it from the store guess what did one of the latest iPhone 5 owner did with it - burn!

 

The Apple hater posted a five-minute YouTube video showing viewers how he cooked his iPhone 5.

 

Of course, there's a disclaimer before the start of the actual action where the man asks his viewers not to perform similar stunts at home unless someone is a professional microwave operator with at least 30 years of qualified professional microwaving experience! That's a helpful tip.

He then displays his newly acquired possession, shinning ultra-thin iPhone 5.

 

He puts the brand new device into a worn out microwave and turns it on. Almost immediately the phone starts crackling and approximately 40 seconds in, the phone sets on fire with a single flame. Moments later, it bursts into a ball of flames.

 

After being burnt for three minutes, the phone is blasted with water before being removed from the oven with a iron spatula.

The blackened iPhone remains in one piece.

Self-proclaimed professional microwave operator and YouTube user "dovetastic" did just that and still managed to sell the handset for over $3000USD on eBay.
