Another iPhone Ignites, This Time in Brazil

[qumahlin]

Another big difference is this "Mota unplugged the iPhone from the wall" This wasn't like the phone just randomly exploded. It was charging, and from a wall outlet at that. While the charger and battery circuits/software are made to deal with current fluctuation i've come to find if you look into the numbers most phones that explode while charging are found to be due to the charger being used or having issues.

iBomb?

lol wuz jus about to say that too.
we're probably gonna start seeing something like iterrorists soon. but I'm interested in hearing what apple's response would be to all this & how far this investigation will be made.

Even if it turns up to be a common defect I highly doubt apple will recall them. Remember the ip4 antenna flaw? Did apple recall that? Nope, even though it was their own idiotic mistake for trying to innovate without properly testing! all they did was give away free bumpers. Not even cases, just a cheap bumper, god forbid they give free cases away. They might loose millions in case sells....
If it's not for this reason I certainly can see the government getting involved with some sort of recall with the way apple handles flaws. Their moto, deny & minimize!

I guess I'm going to have to move my charging iPhone away from my bed and keep an extinguisher close :P

The answer to the death-charge will most likely consist of an update, and a way to pinpoint the problem to the way we hold our phones. No recall in sight...
