He got that wrong, you're suppose to lick it and see if you get a shock! 😛

 

[BFG10K]

You're biting it wrong.

So, List of things you should always "bite" to determine authenticity: Gold, Iphone Batteries (note: Have somebody else bite the battery since its like playing Russian roulette)

Do iPhone batteries explode with 30% less force than other phone batteries?

 

[sdifox]

So do we know if the fake one explodes or is it only the real ones? Just for reference.

Conductive to magical batteries and fireworks.

I thought he was biting the battery/phone at first, but watch closer. He's actually biting on something else, or putting it in his mouth anyway. The white phone is under his chin.

Some crazy shit though.

He's trying to buy the iphone or the battery?

shows CCTV footage from an electronics store of a man looking to purchase an iPhone.

If it was the phone itself, jokes on all of you. He pocketed the iPhone upon that clever distraction.

 

[KIAman]

He probably had metal teeth and shorted the ends.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Maybe he was trying to start a new version of the Tide Pod challenge.

It doesn't take much to crush a lipo and make it fire off like that.
That said, it's amazing what people put in their mouths!

So, given the degree of difficulty in getting an iPhone battery out of the phone itself.....like it won't happen at a store counter....what exploded? Certainly not the battery out of the phone he's holding. That phone appears intact.

Looks like the IPhone X is great for starting house fires and blowing your head off

You can play with it, lick it, suck it, even swallow it, but never ever bite it!
