Today, I was installing the official 3.0 firmware update for my iPhone. Apple's authentication servers crashed. I now own an iBrick. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML
Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I gave my little brother my iPhone so he could play a game. I soon forgot about it, and when I got it back two hours later, there was pudding and a couple of big cracks in it. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

put your iphone into DFU mode, then boot it with 1clickboot.

Apple is for brainless cow wannabees. Overpriced and overrated. Just because 'everybody has one' doesn't mean it's any good.

They are expensive, but that's because they're good. OS X is more stable than windows, can do almost everything windows can, and guess what? You can run windows on a mac faster than on an equivalent PC, or even run both OSX and windows at the same time. All the new laptops have 7 or 8 hour batteries, and have some of the best hardware you can get. Sadly no Blu-ray though. :'(

As for iPods, etc, they're priced fairly, are comparable feature-wise to other players, but are typically thinner, more stylish, and have far more accessories.

the same exact thing happened to my blackberry when i was downloading the new 4.5 software for my blackberry. the server crashed as all the applications were deleted and my blackberry became a brickberry. lucky for me they replaced it free of charge because unlike iphones, you can purchase insurance for blackberries.

What the hell? iPhones and iPods will never brick forever unless if you broke it physically. I should know cuz I am on my jailbroken iPod right now using an FML app. I bricked it like 10 times by now. You have to restore it. First hold the power and home button for 10 sec Then let go of power button but keep holding the home button for 10 sec iTunes should detect it in recovery mode and click "restore"

YDI for not noticing recovery mode.

@#213 Apple is way better than RIM. Get a life, stupid. They're in the Get Real section of your local supermarket, next to the clues.
