An Apple iPhone 6s just caught fire recently. This just indicates that the Apple iPhone 7 Plus blowing up during shipment is not an isolated case.
If Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy units are to go by, exloding phones is what's trending nowadays. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 currently faces controversial battery issues.
Apple, on the other hand, has been bugged with what seemed like explosions of iPhone handsets. The most recent case was with an Apple iPhone 6s user, whose phone suddenly caught fire, according to Phone Arena.
The Apple iPhone 6s was in the victim's back pocket and suddenly was on fire. His jeans had holes where the Apple iPhone was.
The Apple iPhone owner had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. He had second degree burns from the fire.
The iPhone 6s user said he communicated with Apple authorities the day after the incident. He hopes he would be given a new phone and would be dealt with accordingly.
This is not the first time an Apple iPhone user commented on sudden explosions. Another user's Apple iPhone 7 Plus exploded while it was being shipped Parent Herald cites.
A photo showed that the Apple iPhone 7 Plus box had a hole and the black phone totally useless. The iPhone 7 Plus that exploded was never used. So it is during shipment that the phone exploded.
This is a major roadblock for Apple as the iPhone 6s had been long released. Does this mean that the company will start recalling their products? Whether the units have faulty batteries or have overheated remain unknown.
Samsung recently requested Galaxy Note 7 users to return handsets for replacement due to "defective batteries." These batteries could cause harm if these explode.
A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 allegedly exploded in a hotel room. The damage was placed at $1,800 AUD, according to Express. Aside from these, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units have been banned from flights and airports as these may cause explosion.
