    Interestingly enough, none have made it to the front page. It's no surprise people keep reposting, due to the Apple fanboy flagging to prevent visibility to this issue. Edit: And this post has been flagged away.

      There is no evidence of "Apple fanboy flagging" on those stories. Please don't make groundless accusations of such behavior on HN—it's uncivil and tedious.

    I wonder how long it takes to drain a fully charged phone when it is stuck in this state?
