How to make iPhone non functional?

Not like damaging it heavily, just make it not turn on. I wan't to make it look like my parents don't think that I did it on purpose. I still have a warranty for it. Please don't ask why I wan't to do it, just please help me.

You really can't without damaging it.

You can blame it on a nasty Virus. I don't know if there's one that would effect an I-Phone, but if you have a cord to hook it up to the computer, you can say you downloaded something strange and it crashed. So sad.

  • Why won't my iPhone send messages to non-iPhone users? I've had my iPhone 4 for a while now, I go through Virgin Mobile. I've never had problems until recently, but it's really strange. I can text certain people with non-iPhones, but some I get an error. I can receive theirs always. Any resolutions? I have changed the contact from iPhone to just mobile… Still doesn't do the trick. I have turned off MMS. No such luck.

  • My grandpa's iPhone 5S won't send SMS messages to non-iPhone phone? He can call my mom's cell phone just fine, which is not an iPhone, but when it comes to texting, he can't send anything. I've made sure both numbers were correct and that all SMS settings were set right, but nothing changes. How is it possible that he can call her phone but can't send or receive messages?
