Burning iPhones


Two iPhones, one in Brazil and then another in Australia, have reportedly self-combusted in recent weeks.
The Australian incident happened on November 25 during a Regional Express flight from Lismore to Sydney. According to the airline’s official statement, one of the passengers’ phones “started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow”.
The case on Brazil involved a phone that was plugged in overnight and started shooting sparks.
