Fake ad tricks 'Waterproof IPhone' users in iOS7 update and destroy their smartphones

Yesterday I updated you with New York police activity where it was found a campaign, asking users to update their iPhone and iPad to newly released iOS7.


An announcement is now gone viral, asking Apple users to update their iPhone iOS newly released 7 to make their devices fully waterproof, but according to reports, the ad is false and prompting users to break their phones.



The announcement is spreading across the social networking sites that looks pretty catchy and closing to Apple's type of marketing.


Here is how the advertisement misled Apple users:


"Update to iOS 7 and become impervious to water" says announcement (see below) explaining that "' in an emergency, a smart switch will cut phone power and matching components to avoid damage to the delicate circuitry of your iPhone." "


Those who fall for the trick are updating their devices and ending with broken gadgets. Some abuse of the unknown for urging an update.


Here is a screenshot of what say the people on Twitter about the issue:


Apple says that, after the release of its new update, more than 200 million users have already upgraded to iOS 7. However, from now it does not say a word about the false announcement.


Call a conspiracy theory or the misuse of technology, there is something fishy on the new iOS software 7 update also just a couple of days NYPD found encouraging people to to update their iPhone and iPad iOS 7.
