Today, I was installing the official 3.0 firmware update for my iPhone. Apple's authentication servers crashed. I now own an iBrick. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Oh whatever. iBrick?? Clearly you weren't around for last year's update. This isn't an FML.

I know the feeling. I stepped on my iPod and cracked the screen. It still works but I cant see the display. So I have what I now call the iGuess

#2, you actually do need an internet connection when installing it, trust me, i didn't have one and it pissed me off for an hour and this happened to my friend's touch last week (he installed a torrented version of the new software and BOOM, brick touch)

you are a total idiot if you can't fix it. I've bricked my phone 10+ times and I'm using it right now to type this comment.

Well he deserved it for expecting a pirated copy of software to be as good as the real thing. I'm all for pirating (I have a 40 item queue in uTorrent right now) but that doesn't mean someone should pirate something like this.

Pfft, that's why you don't update until it's jailbreakable. Well, actually that's not the reason I wait, but w/e.

It has to be just your phone-nothing to do with apple, because I have an iPhone and it's fine. And for everyone saying the OP deserves it because he has an iPhone, ur just pissed cuz you don't have one.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You're probably the 50th person to ever say this. Every freaking FML that involves an iPhone, some 20 doucebags have to comment thinking they're being funny, saying "YDI for having an iPhone" which if you think about it isn't funny and makes no sense.
