There is an Internet hoax circulating around claiming users of Apple's IOS 8 can charge their iPhone by putting it in the microwave oven.

The hoax ad was posted in 4chan and stated "Wave is our latest and greatest addition to iOS8. Wave allows your device to be charged wirelessly through microwave frequencies.  Wave can be used to quickly charge your device's battery using any standard household microwave"

I don't think anyone fall for this hoax. But it is funny to read the ad and tweets about it.

The app which allows you to charge your new iPhone 6 in the microwave is a hoax!!! Try it and you'll get an explosion and a visit from us!

Last year, when iOS7 was first launched, some pranksters made a similar fake ad claiming updating to the iOS7 made phones waterproof.  Many people reportedly fell for that hoax.
