Viral video reveals hidden headphone port into iPhone 7

Viral  video reveals hidden headphone port into iPhone 7
In a news report published today  in Guardian UK, a viral video claims that users can add a headphone socket to the iPhone 7, by drilling into the bottom of their phone. Thus far the video  has been watched almost 10million times.
It shows a man drilling a 3.5mm hole into the bottom left edge of the iPhone 7 and points to the row of small holes on the left side  and claims that drilling into the second hole on the left reveals a hidden socket.

Once the hole has been drilled the video shows an iPhone 7 playing music, although the sound comes out of the speakers, not the white headphones now inserted in the DIY hole.
The video was produced by  a California-based Ukrainian YouTuber Taras Maksimuk who “specialises in smashing technology for your pleasure” according to his profile. Some of Maksimuk’s other videos include “what happens if you microwave an iPhone 7” and “can the iPhone 7 survive in liquid nitrogen for five minutes”.
In total Maksimuk has seven separate videos showing him destroying iPhone 7s, but that doesn't appear to stop fanboys drilling their new iPhones.
