Maybe she should steal some snips.
Maybe she should steal some snips.
A Chinese woman has shocked, wowed and slightly disgusted the whole world after successfully gnawing through a security cable in order to steal an iPhone. The woman, identified only as Qiu, was apparently too impatient to wait for the upcoming sale (where the $1,000+ phone will retail for still too much), and decided to liberate the phone from its all-white hipster prison (also known as the Apple Store). However, one thing stood between her and her prize: the anti-theft USB cable.
Impressively, Qiu was able to bite through the cable after just a few attempts. For context, the cable consists not only of copper wiring to transfer data and power at blistering USB-2 speeds, but also metal shielding and durable tensile fibers, and is designed to withstand knives and cable cutters. The specially designed cable was no match for a small Chinese woman’s teeth, however, and gave up the iPhone within minutes. Wouldn’t this set off the alarm, though? Why yes it did, but thanks to the power of the staff inexplicably not noticing, this proved to not be an issue.
Qiu thus became the proud owner of a lightly-nibbled iPhone… for about 30 minutes, until she was arrested.
