Don't Be Upset When You Break Your iPhone Trying This New Twitter Challenge

The latest trend to break the internet (and honestly probably all of your iPhones, so RIP in advance) is people attempting to snap a selfie while high-fiving themselves.

Let me first start out by saying I love my iPhone. We're basically like peanut butter and jelly if you know what I mean. We're two peas in a pod.

This gal over here also loves snapping a good picture.

So naturally, I've dropped my phone more times than I can count in the name of picture-taking to the point where it is beaten the heck UP.

I legit just dropped it two days ago when I was pulling it out to take an awesome snap, and it cracked … again. OOPSIES.

That, of course, did not get in the way of my Snapchat, but ANYWAY.

This new high-fiving selfie trend is taking Twitter by storm, and I'm not too sure how I feel about it. With my luck, my selfie would end up in an epic fail and my phone would sadly be no more.

I have to give these peeps some credit, though. This takes MAD skills to do successfully.

Just check this rad dude out. His picture got over 94,000 retweets and more than 220,000 likes since yesterday afternoon.

Everyone was super impressed with this guy's picture — to the point where they felt the need to get in on his viral trick by trying it out for themselves.

Look ma, no hands!

A lot of these people just look like blurry ghosts in the mirror, but HEY, it's still cool.

LMAO this guy's got the right idea to put a pillow underneath just in case.

Oh snap, this person's coming p. close to dropping his iPhone. Seriously fearing for your phone, dude.
