"Apple released iOS 7.0.6 to patch a vulnerability which, if unpatched, could allow attackers to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. However, quite a few users have reported that the upgrade didn't go as planned and their iDevices have been bricked after the update or during the update process. Users have flocked to Twitter as well as Apple support forums voicing their concerns and frustrations as quite a few users have tried updating their iOS 7 devices while on the move and once bricked, their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch requires a connection to iTunes to restart."

You just don't know how advanced red clay bricks are becoming these days. Yes, these days bricks have USB ports, and can download music and movies from iTunes.
But a red apple with a bite taken out of it? Now THAT'S a useless hunk of junk.
Hydrogen cyanide is a delicious and necessary part of the human diet.

The closest one to me apparently has never been visited since installation (aka it was immediately destroyed), and the next closest is rusted out, reported broken, and up for replacement "soon" since 2012. But they were a "thing" for a short period of time in the early 2010s.

yeah, a fantastic re-purpose for your old 128mb flash drive, useless for anything but txt files. or maybe a couple of mp3's. what they need it to come up with a new connector which doesn't rust, isn't easily spotted or broken by people who have no idea what it's for.
