Gadget fans have discovered that you can freeze an Apple phone by simply pressing a few buttons – but luckily it it doesn’t render the handset useless permanently.
It’s set to be a big year for Apple fans, because this year marks the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone and heralds the much anticipated iPhone 8.
But they’ll have to tackle this little problem first, if they want to keep customers happy.
If you really want to annoy your mates, all you need to do is bring up the control centre screen.
Tap simultaneously on three menu options and it should render the iPhone totally useless.
Luckily there was someone brave enough to try it out at at the Sun Online HQ, and you can see the results above.
It appears the issue is only with phones that have been updated to iOS 10.
For now, Apple hasn't issued a fix for the latest glitch, but it's been reported to only last for a couple minutes.
It's not the first annoying bug capable of putting your iPhone into a meltdown.
Back in 2015 Apple suffered embarrassment when an iOS bug caused Messages to crash and iPhones to reboot when a certain text was received.
