iPhone 7 goes up in flames, sets fire to vehicle in Australia

Now, where have we optically discerned this afore? Oh yeah, a car caught fire to a Florida man’s Jeep where the main culprit was the Samsung Galaxy Note7.

In any case, akin to what transpired with the Note7 phones. It appears that these phones are catching fire within the first week or two since activation. But now that the iPhone 7 has already had more than a couple of cases oh fires, perhaps a few more reports of fires and Apple could be facing a kindred fate that Samsung did with the Note7, requiring an ecumenical recall.

Mat Jones left his phone under a bunch of habiliments in his car while he went to take a surfing edification. When he returned, he found his car filled with smoke, 7 News reports. The heated phone ignited and smoked the interior to a crisp.

“Ash was just emanating from inside the pants which then, once you unwrapped the pants, the phone was just melting inside of it”, Jones told 7 News. The Surf instructor is now left with no phone, or car, which was deplorably damaged during the fire.

7 News verbally expresses that Apple is vigilant of the incident and will investigate the events that led to the phone’s ignition. The investigation would additionally determine whether or not the incident was caused by a defective iPhone.

The iPhone 7 was sitting under habiliments, and in a car parked at the beach, it is plenarily possible that the heat building up in the car commenced to warm the phone up, expediting the ignition process, and with plenty of fuel to burn, the poor surfer’s habiliments.

If you have any phone, regardless of what it is, don’t let it overheat, and definitely do NOT charge it on your bed near a pillow, phones can get authentically sultry if they are charging and culminate up under a pillow.

Thanks, Renato!
