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.

Everyone complaining is some jackass who's never even used an iPhone, or they went to the store, looked at the iPhone for 2 seconds, said "This sucks" and walked away, because they're some Palm/Blackberry Fanboy who's too narrow-minded to accept that there MAY be something else better out there, or you're some whiny idiot who is pissed that another phone is getting more attention than yours. Jeez, I'm in love with my iPhone. But it would be unfair to judge a phone you've never really used. Unless you've actually used an iPhone, or at least the 3GS/latest OS, and you still don't like it, then just ignore this comment. I understand the first iPhone was feature-less and lame, but the 3G S has everything you would want in a phone (Maybe not everything, but can you find me a phone without its flaws?), plus a tons of fun features that just totally makes it more than a phone. Anyway, don't make comments, especially negative ones, about a phone you've never used.

Same with me! I can't imagine living without a phone with so many features as my iPhone. I can't imagine having any cell phone other than my iPhone. I'll be an iPhone user for life.

This isnt possible, if the servers crashed the firmware would stop downloading and not install

YDI for wasting loads of money on a shitty iPhone just to look cool. Why not just have a Sony Ericcson K800i, brilliant camera, expandable memory, mp3 player/radio, bluetooth, what more could you need? It's a phone ffs not a bloody computer.

xpxp2002, we don't want to listen to your repitive comments. This also almost happened to me, but mine went through at the last second. It was the best software released by Apple.

It's impossible to brick an iPhone. Just put it in DFU and restore.
