iOS device owners better be careful about the videos they want to play on their device. A video is currently circulating on the internetnetwork which can "drop" almost any iPhone or iPad in three seconds.
The video has been uploaded to YouTube, and if you play the .mp4 in Safari on any iOS device the system it will start to slow down significantly until it will freeze completely.
What is particularly interesting is that the video does not immediately shut down your iPhone. It takes around 15 with 30 seconds to start affecting your device, making it totally useless. After all, it's a hard reset.
