(Marcio Jose Sanchez / Associated Press)

Another newly shipped Apple iPhone 7 caught fire and destroyed a car in what looks similar to the same type of battery fires that forced a worldwide recall of all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units.

Australian surfing instructor Mat Jones says that he left his week-old iPhone 7 covered by a pair of pants in his car while he went out to give a lesson.

When Jones came back from surfing, he immediately noticed that all the windows of his car were blacked-out. As Jones opened the car’s door, he was hit by a big heat wave, and then smoke started billowing out of the vehicle.

I think someone missed the part about the izen. It would have been cool. Imagine, a little rake with the Apple logo on it. ;)

The thought of it cracked me up.

LOL!

You do not know what you are talking about. . . Neither does most of the other brands. They ALL contract their manufacturing out to contract assemblers. Only Apple and the other major makers actually design the whole widget, but the rest select from off the shelf components. Only Apple, of the major brands, even designs it's processor from the ground up. Give it a rest. You are delusional.

This is the last response I will post to you in this thread.

Batteries can get really hot. I was at Disney World with several spare batteries in my pocket for my Walkman. During the day each time I would buy something i would through the change in the same pocket. At lunch I sat down and found my leg on fire. The batteries were too hot to touch and the plastic had melted off of them.
