    You're disrupting Darwinism with this warning.

    Some people have a lot of money to waste in pursuit of internet fame.
    Imagine if you somehow fell for the ad, so you put your phone in your old beatup microwave, but first you set up a video camera to video it and then when the phones catches fire you... do nothing.
    A likely scenario.
    I wonder how many of tweets were deliberately done for attention too.

    Its charged your battery for 6 hours? I'll give it a go, how long do you leave it in for, for a 6 hour charge? Will it work on Android or is it purely apple devices?

    I hear it's coming to Android L, but it may have already rolled out early in a Google Play Services update.
    Only one way to find out.

    The battery isn't great these days on my iPhone 5. I was going to upgrade to a 6 but if this gives me longer battery life I won't bother! :)

    Apple have really dropped the ball here again. After the launch stream, bendyphone and iOS 8.0.1, now iPhones are going up in flames when you microwave them. Ridiculous.

    The end is nigh for Apple.

    I tried that with my iphone 4s and I didn't have that issue. Must be something to do with the new iphone 6. I heard it had a few issues alright...

    It's just fanboyism. Android had this 2 years ago. Anyway, I don't know why you're being sheep falling for the Apple line. I was thinking about the 6 but I'm gonna wait for the HTC One MW9 out in 2 minutes time. It has the built in MW chip that allows you to microwave your food on the go and you can also use it to charge your other Android devices as well. Welcome to 2012 suckers! :)
