Prank video destroying new Apple smartphone receives 10m views, with some seemingly tricked into making 3.5mm hole in the bottom of their devices.

这则破坏新款苹果手机的恶搞视频浏览量高达1000万，有些人甚至还真的上当，在自己的苹果手机底部钻出一个3.5毫米的耳机孔。

A video claiming that users can add a headphone socket to the iPhone 7, which only has a Lightning port, by drilling into the bottom of their phone has been watched almost 10m times.

视频中，用户可在只有一个Lightning接口的iPhone 7手机底部电钻出一个新的耳机接口。该视频已被观看近1000万次。

The prank video shows a man drilling a 3.5mm hole into the bottom left edge of the iPhone 7 held in a vice. It points to the row of small holes on the left side that replaced the headphone socket present on the iPhone 6S and claims that drilling into the second hole on the left reveals a hidden socket.

这一恶搞视频中，男子先用钳子将iPhone 7固定住，然后在手机左侧底部钻出一个3.5毫米的手机孔。手机左下方有一排小孔，正是iPhone 6S耳机接口所在的位置。视频称电钻左侧第二个孔可显示出隐藏的耳机插孔。

Once the hole has been drilled the video shows an iPhone 7 playing music, although the sound comes out of the speakers, not the white headphones now inserted in the DIY hole.

视频中，电钻出小孔的iPhone 7手机能够播放音乐，虽然这音乐不是通过插入“自制”小孔的白色耳机而是通过手机扬声器传出来的。

‘This video is for those who don’t want to get $159 wireless AirPods or have to insert your headphones into an adapter every time you listen to music’ says the caption of the video.

视频说明称“这一视频主要针对那些想听音乐，却又不想花159美元购买苹果AirPods无线耳机，或者不得不将耳机插入适配器的用户。”

The video was produced by Sacramento, California-based Ukrainian YouTuber Taras Maksimuk who “specialises in smashing technology for your pleasure” according to his profile. Some of Maksimuk’s other videos include “what happens if you microwave an iPhone 7” and “can the iPhone 7 survive in liquid nitrogen for five minutes”.

视频由擅长“只为娱乐‘虐待’苹果”的Taras Maksimuk制作，这位乌克兰裔的YouTube使用者来自加利福尼亚萨克拉门托。Maksimuk还制作过一些其他视频，如“将iPhone 7放在微波炉里会发生什么？”，“放于液态氮中5分钟，iPhone 7还能否‘存活’？”等。

In total Maksimuk has seven separate videos showing him destroying iPhone 7s, but that seemingly hasn’t stopped people drilling holes into the bottom of their new iPhones and causing irreparable damage.

Maksimuk共上传了7个破坏iPhone 7的独立视频，但似乎未能阻挡人们在新买的iPhone手机底部钻孔，造成不可挽回的巨大损失。

The YouTube video’s comment section – normally a place filled with vitriol and despair for humanity – was full of people claiming to have performed the operation and destroying their iPhone 7 in the process, the sincerity of which is questionable.

YouTube视频讨论区通常充满了各种尖酸刻薄和对人性感到绝望的评论，此次评论区很多网友表示他们动手电钻的过程中iPhone 7崩溃坏掉了，评论的真实性让人怀疑。

Some Dude said: “WTF??? Fuck you! My screen turned black the moment I started drilling and now I can’t even open it.”

一些网友开骂：“这是什么玩意！×××！我刚开始钻，屏幕就全黑了，现在开机都开不了。”

“TECHRAX YOU PIECE OF SHIT I DID THIS AND THE SOUND DOESN NOT WORK AT ALL,” said Artur.

网友亚瑟：“TechRax，×××！我钻了孔之后手机根本不出声音。”

Lukelaluke123 said: “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WAITD TILL MY DAD WAS SLEEP THEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE AND GOT HIS DIRLL AND DID THIS AND NOW MY IPHONE WONT NOT EVEN WORK!!!!!”

网友Lukelaluke123：“你是在和我开玩笑吗？我一直等到我爸睡着了，才跑到车库拿出他的电钻，但钻完我的手机连用都不能用了！！！”

The video received over 134,000 likes, but just under 88,000 dislikes. It’s unclear how many of the dislikes were from people who had been tricked into drilling a hole into their ￡600-plus smartphone.

这一视频目前已收到超过13.4万的赞，但不喜欢的人也高达8.8万之多。尚不清楚这些不喜欢的人里究竟有多少人上当受骗，在他们花600多英镑买来的苹果手机上钻孔。

Not only will drilling a hole into the bottom of the iPhone 7 not reveal a hidden headphone socket, but it will also ruin the waterproofing of the smartphone, which requires the membranes covering the holes in the bottom of the phone to be undamaged.

在iPhone 7底部钻孔不仅不能显示出隐藏的耳机接口，还会破坏手机的防水性能，因为防水要求手机底部小孔上覆盖的一层防水膜要完好无损。

Maksimuk’s video is the latest in a long run of pranks targeting gullible iPhone buyers. Pranksters managed to convince some users that the iOS 7 update magically made their iPhones waterproof in 2024, while some iPhone 6 users were tricked into microwaving their smartphones while seeking longer battery life. Both pranks only led to destroyed smartphones.

Maksimuk最近上传的这一视频是为了恶搞那些容易受骗的苹果手机用户。之前就有恶作剧者成功使用户上当受骗，如2024年将iOS升级能让手机防水，将iPhone 6手机放到微波炉里加热以延长手机电池寿命。两者的最终结果都是手机“罢工”坏掉。
