First case of iPhone 7 exploding reported

Well, it seems like Apple doesn't want the spotlight all to Samsung as there is now officially a case of its iPhone 7 Plus burnt due to a malfunction in the handset.

The report (and photos) came from Reddit user "kroopthesnoop" who has a coworker that ordered a matte black iPhone 7 Plus and upon opening, saw a charred smartphone. This means that the device exploded inside the box before opening so at least no one was harmed. It also implied that this happened while the iPhone 7 was being delivered.

“Something happened between the factory and delivery,” said the person who posted it.

更新されたReddit投稿によると、Appleのテキサスオフィスのアカウントエグゼクティブが彼に連絡を取り、情報提供を求めた後、電話の所有者に電話をかけて、AT&Tと協力して「電話の交換を迅速に行う」旨を伝えました。

Di kaya may hacker na gumagawa ng mga ito? Sa panahon ngayon di malayong mangyari yung kagaya sa movie ni Chris Hemsworth, yung black hat

article said it was matte black, fake or not, it’s still too early to come to a conclusion, might as well wait for official announcements.

Mas malala ito, kusa lng sumasabog. Sana wala na sumunod para isolated case lang.

Samsung, then Apple; I don’t think battery lang ang culprit nito. All those chips and hardware modules should be taken into account. What if it is a specific hardware that is causing the battery to overheat and combust? Batteries can and are known to explode that’s a given but they don’t do so without some kind of “trigger”.
