A strange video has been circulating on Twitter since last night.
It shows an apparently Russian citizen beating an iPad with a hammer. The video was distributed by Russian state television and is probably intended to represent a protest action.
Apple sales freeze causes frustration
The man, who also lets his teenage son bang on the tablet, says that he can live well without Apple. His statement is probably directed against Apple’s sales stop in Russia.
However, his iPad is also almost 10 years old – apparently he has been living without Apple products for a long time. The shattered display also inflicted another cut on him.
Luckily it didn’t explode
And, as Apple insider rightly points out, the man was lucky the tablet didn’t catch fire. Because if you hit battery-powered electronics hard, you risk a spontaneous explosion.
More fallout from Apple’s decision to stop selling its products in Russia
