Thats sounds cool!! A centipede comming out of the APPLE? You sure it wasnt a little green worm? Because that would make more sense. Next time it happens take a picture, I want to see that, so cool....

once i hear four people (with more than 6 posts on their account) have this problem i'll consider believing it. this is the internet, after all... no offense to the OP.

at any rate, it sounds more like a "bug" than a "virus"... pun intended.

There's no known viruses for the iPhone, if there was......they would be well publicized.

Please do not believe this fool, it's only a story to scare people.

Default this is for real!!!

I have this happening on my iphone!!! I saw another post here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...=382297&page=2
I have looked around and found videos on iphone glitchs but nothing like this. It is crazy I think it has to do with the ants program. I mean my phone still works but its really weird and makes you cautious that your phones fucking up. Anyways, im going to record it with my camera and post it on youtube for proof.
