Hoax Claims iPhones Charge Faster in the Microwave and People Actually Fell For It
Sometimes you have to wonder WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING! An ad appeared on how to charge your new Apple iPhone faster. It claimed the WAVE feature, an IOS8 exclusive, allows users to put their phone in the microwave for a minute and a half. The microwave frequencies would charge it in 60 seconds.
It's not often I rave about an Apple product, but I just tried #AppleWave and it is AMAZING. pic.twitter.com/vgzVLdSsa3

People actually FELL FOR IT!
Wow, #AppleWave really didn't work on my Iphone 5. So many song fragments gone forever :(. pic.twitter.com/SLiwlUCQvR — Cold Capital (@Cold_Capital) September 23, 2014
...just in case any of y'all are as gullible as me, DO NOT MICROWAVE YOUR IPHONE pic.twitter.com/TV1JKtT7hQ — lorena terroba (@lore1306) September 18, 2014
Some people really are that gullible
If you believe #AppleWave is real, just do humanity a favor and stick your head in the microwave instead of your iPhone.

DO NOT put your phone or anything else with metal, in your microwave. This is what happens.
