Do Not Try This At Home

   There's a new hoax spreading like wildfire across social media, and it's costing people who shelled out hundreds of dollars for the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus dearly. It's being claimed the iOS 8 update will allow iPhone and Pad owners to re-energize their battery without using a charger.
   Supposedly, all you have to do is put your valuable device in your microwave for 60 or 70 seconds, and the battery will be charged. The alleged feature is called the "Wave", which it's claimed becomes active when you update the latest iOS version.
   I suppose it had to happen. Someone out there is playing on peoples gullibility, and it's costing them the loss of their device, and the price to replace it. According to one item I saw, there's a graphic with Apple fonts, colors etc being used to dupe people into believing it's a real communication from the tech giant.
   It isn't. Microwaving your phone will result in nothing more than the image above. A cooked, useless device you will now have to pay for again.
   If you have the latest iPhone or Pad, DO NOT TRY THIS.
