If memory serves, wasn't there an ad out not too long ago for an actual waterproof cell phone? I pay little attention to ads but they were throwing all sorts of shit on this thing to show how durable it was.

So yeah, I can see some people thinking that this was simply the next generation of cell phone technology and tossing their new iPhone in the sink to test it.

The point I think was important is that they were advertising the software update as making the iPhone waterproof. So, you didn't have to buy a new model of phone; your non-waterproof phone would become waterproof if you updated the software...

4chan, is that some kinda of American site who likes Japanese stuff... Never been there though

Giving people waaaayyy too much credit there, boss! I can see them saying "Hey, this is cool...now I won't even have to get off the phone in the shower."

Quote:However, someone called Matthew Ecton offered a tweet: "Woah, iOS7 makes your phone waterproof."

Sometime later, he offered another tweet, which may have been related: "Wow, I'm a dumbass."

Hilarious.

Imagine how easy it would be to cleanse the gene pool by putting out an ad that said, "iOS7 allows your phone to defy gravity."
