Many iPhone 7 owners tried doing this by utilising 3.5mm drills as the video recommended and ended up with damaged smartphones. The instructions were to place the phone in a clamp and take a 3.5mm drill to where the headphone hole used to be.
Several users took to the YouTube video's comment box to voice their displeasure. The video has since gone viral and more unsuspecting people are getting tricked to do the same with the comment section containing malicious or cruel advice encouraging many to do so.
