\u201cUse voice input on your iPhone, say \u2018hyphen\u2019 five times, and see what happens,\u201d says a friendly message from someone you know.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, it might be tempting to try it and see if anything actually happens. Why else would anyone tell you to do such a weird thing?<\/p>\n
On the other hand, you might be afraid to try \u2014 what if it actually breaks your iPhone? That may sound ludicrous, but don\u2019t forget that messages actually bricked Sony PlayStations<\/a>, for example, and it wouldn\u2019t be the first time for Apple smartphones, either: At one point, setting the date to January 1, 1970, sent iPhones into a reboot loop. Apple has fixed that problem, but what if this hyphen thing is a new reincarnation of it?<\/p>\n So, does saying \u201cHyphen\u201d five times actually do anything to your iPhone? We tested the theory and can show you the result:<\/p>\n
