iPhone 4 bursts into flames, burns hand
by Boy Genius on July 8th, 2010 at 3:47pm
One of our very close AT&T sources just sent us in these images. Yes, it’s a fried iPhone 4. Apparently a customer brought the phone into the store to try and get help with it, although it’s pretty evident that the phone is unrepairable. It’s the first time our guy has seen this happen (us too), but the brand new iPhone 4 caught on fire while being hooked up to a computer using the Apple USB cable that accompanied the device.

A few years ago I worked as a staffing manager at a Foxxconn plant in the Alliance area of Fort Worth. My workers were fixing/refurbishing i-phones by the hundreds just weeks and months after the initial roll out (under a pseudonym, not Apple). Best salaried job I ever had -— only worked Friday thru Sunday and made $50,000.

Do not rule out Spontaneous Human Combustion.
People have been known to burst into flames and be reduced to ashes without adjacent furniture or bedding catching fire.

So the message here is that, if he had plugged it into a Mac, the phone would not have fried?

The computer he plugged it into must have been using the new USB3!

The USB software in the iPhone sometimes indicates you have more fire than you actually think you have.......
