Apple’s iPhone 6, just two days old, set a company record with upwards of 4 million pre-orders—though some early birds are simply flushing money down the toilet.
via Reddit
We all had a good laugh at the Australian teen who dropped his new iPhone on live TV, but that’s nothing compared to the ignominy of having lost it to the commode. Such an accident confirms the dirty truth we try not to think about: that everyone surfs the Web while shitting.
Damn! My iphone 6 just flushed in the toilet bowl :?

These reports more or less confirmed various predictions.
Summary of my wife’s first day with her iPhone 6: my daughter hasn’t put it in the toilet yet. Will update again tomorrow.

iPhone 6 more slippery than iPhone 5. Beware when texting or tweeting on the toilet seat.

Other people seem to be dropping old phones in the toilet on purpose, just so they’ll have an excuse to shell out a few hundred bucks for a newer model.
