Sad news hit back again on the screen of Apple devices to haunt its users. A recent video clip is doing rounds on the internet will cause a temporary slowdown or powers of the Apple devices.

A Couple of years ago, "effective power" bug has done damage which no one has thought of. It has literally caused irritation to the users. The bug planted in the message that crashed and rebooted the iPhone automatically upon viewing. Apple scrambled its engineers to quickly fix the bug.

A similar effort is required by Apple's technical team once again to purge the iOS. As reported in 9TO5 Mac, a .mp4 video posted by an EverythingApplePro is causing a flutter on the internet.  The video when opened on Safari or another iOS device is causing the device to slump and eventually freezing it.

However, it is asserted that video link is clean from bugs. The exact reason for such a security lapse is unknown. Apple developer team should get their act quickly to fix the chinks in the iOS. It is interesting to note that it is affecting all Apple devices which are currently in use, reports, The Next Web.

Fortunately, the solution is quite simple, easy and most importantly, workable! Users simply need to just reboot the device. 

But, it is learned that the same video, when watched on Android iOS doesn't seem to affect Android running devices. This implies that the Apple iOS is susceptible to some kind of bug and Apple really needs to work on all iOS active on its devices.

Currently, the Apple devices market share is decreased from 13.4% in 2015Q3 to 11.7% in 2016Q2, as posted in IDC. The waning market share is a cause of concern for Apple. Coupled with these issues, it could be devastating for Apple sales.

Apple would hopefully resolve this glitch at the earliest, but until such time, be careful on what you watch!
