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.

Aww... I'm sure they can do something about that though.

I am on my iPhone right now. I am going to jailbreak it when I can, when it is available for the 3.0

Having worked for Apple in the past, I have two guesses at how this happened. One, their servers actually crashed (in which case, sorry, but you'll be covered and your phone will be working again soon.) Or two, you tried to unlock your iPhone and put it on a network other than AT&T, even though you signed an agreement not to. In which case, updating your software with Apple at any time will render your iPhone a brick, permanently, and you totally deserve it.

I have an IPhone. Personally, I hate this thing. These things glitch up way to much for me. I'm going for a blackberry next time. My sister has one of those. They are sooo much better!

This is not an FML in any way. YDI for not knowing how to Google DFU mode though.

"YDI for having an iPhone?" Everyone without an iPhone that complain about them are jealous. I just got my iPhone, and it's amazing. But if putting down a great product makes you feel better about your crap phone...

That would make sense if my phone wasn't better than yours. Not to mention the features that the iPhone JUST got that "piece of shit" phones have had for years.

Mine crashed while updating as well, but reboot your iTunes, keep plugging that iPhone back in and it'll start... eventually. Let it sit for a few minutes inbetween each time you plug it in.

Steve Jobs just gave you the "pink sock" (Google it if you don't know)

That sucks unless you have jailbroken it as others have said. Mine updated just fine. Good luck!
