What happens when iPhone 5 is fried in microwave? (video, photos)

The British Daily Mail has posted a video featuring an iPhone fried in a microwave oven.


It has called the footage the attention-seeker, warning people not to try cooking their phones at home.

"Remember, unless you’re a professional microwave operator with at least 30 years of qualified professional microwaving experience do not attempt these experiments at home under any circumstances whatsoever at all," a man says to the camera.

Irritating safety warning aside, he proceeds to put the brand new device into a well-worn microwave and turn it on.

Almost immediately the phone starts crackling and approximately 40 seconds in, the phone sets on fire with a single flame. Moments later, it bursts into a ball of flames.

After being fried for three minutes, the phone is blasted with water before being removed from the oven with a spatula.
