Oh my word, people can't be that stupid...
Hm, they probably are...
S+F
A friend of mine told me it worked for him, but my iPhone won’t turn on after I drilled the hole for the jack.
I checked and it was the 3.5mm drill, so I made no mistake there! What happened? Any of you have the same problem?
Also I don’t have that clamp thingy, can I or my friend hold it while we drill?
I don’t want to ruin my phone.
Thanks for all the help guys!

Lol, it's not supposed to work, mate!
A real input jack isn't just a hole... It needs two electronic slugs (left + right channel) and a ground, and all of these must be wired to the chip.
Sorry, I just can't stop bursting in laughter.

lol hahahaahhaha bunch of idiots.
Wondering how many people will bring it back to the shop with a drilled hole asking for a replacement or money back?.
Instead of rushing to help the clueless users, cruel commenters have instead tricked them with false advice.

“In order to clean out the 3.5mm socket of debris from the drill you need to soak the phone in soapy water for around 15 minutes so all the drill shavings are loosened.

And if your phone starts doing this (phone starts freaking)...THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL! This means you're well on your way to getting a brand new headphone jack on your phone!!
