A Feature You Don’t Want on iPhone 5: Self-Destructing Phone

A clever video shows a make believe feature on the (yet unreleased) iPhone 5. If you guess the passlock incorrectly 3 times (which I often do when drinking), the phone will, well, self-destruct. Seems practical. The data for this made up feature will be transferred to iTunes, where you and you alone can access it. But what of your $700 iPhone?! Can you make it spray poison gas at the possible thieves instead of totally ruining any chance I have of recovering the phone?! Either way, the design and video is pretty cool – check it out (via All Things D).
