It has happened again: an iPhone 4 has exploded, but this time without causing any injuries. The protagonist of this story is an American citizen who was sleeping when she suddenly noticed "a terrible rotten smell" of burned plastic. His iPhone 4, which was plugged into the power just next to his nightstand, had exploded inches from his head.
When he realized something strange was happening on his phone, he grabbed it with his laptop case and threw it into the bathroom sink. An electrician later checked the outlet and reported that it was working properly and that it had been the telephone itself. After the incident, the victim wanted to share this story with the Mashable website because «Apple doesn't want to let its customers know that this kind of thing can happen with your products.
Apple has not wanted to pronounce on the matter and the affected complains that "they are giving him long all the time." When he requested an iPhone 4s for the incident, Apple gave him another iPhone 4.

That your iPhone explodes and you call Apple to ask for explanations and that they replace the phone with one that works, I understand, but that you have the hard face of asking for a 4S when you have a 4, I do not see it well. What would happen if we were going to buy a nissan and we left the dealership and the car's engine seized, we went back and asked them for a porsche or what ??? Things don't go like this ...
Exactly.
I already tell you. Come on, the girl doesn't have a face.
It is one thing that you buy a nissan, and that for an engine failure you want another, that is inconceivable, but, imagine that you buy your new nissan, zero miles, and that for some damage to the vehicle it catches fire and you can die, your children, wife, etc ?, what do you tell me in that case ?. In that case Nissan (or the dealer) is OBLIGED to repair the damage suffered and the damage that may have been caused to me by its negligence.
In most cases, the failure is not of the phone or the device (it also happens with other devices), it is a failure of the charger that does not jump a resistance that causes the charger to stop sending energy to the device, so it goes on and on charging until of course, the battery explodes.
Never leave devices charging at night or when you are not at home, always charge them and verify their charge to remove the charger when it completes the charge
Well, I don't know why you say that you can't ask for an iPhone 4s …… it is customary in many places that when an apt doesn't work, they change it for another with equal or superior characteristics… ..if the aunt, rightly, doesn't trust that the 4 is going to explode again, why not ask for the next higher model?… ..It is clear that this does not apply when you go to buy a car, but it does apply in many electronic stores …… televisions, mp3, computers ……. the manufacturer is obliged to replace it with the same product, and if it does not already have it, it would have to give the one that replaces it in the market
That is called having a snout. If your mobile explodes and they give you a new one, do not complain, in any case you doubt if you have the same phone model that has exploded charging. But ask for a superior model having stock of the same one you had ...
Nice story this woman has invented to try to get an iPhone 4S. And as Apple tells him to be odd, he begins to ball against the company to see if they will shut his mouth with a 4S.
People like that are called liar, exploited, thief ...
Although it is true that if it is the fault of the device they would have to compensate you by replacing it with one of: the same characteristics / superior or one of the same price (usually a higher price anywhere I have seen it), the most normal thing is that they replace it with the same model if it is in stock, or they offer you the superior one for you to pay the difference ...
Another issue would have been if he had suffered some damage to both his person and material goods (apart from the telephone)
at least that's what has happened to me so far ..
I would have directly demanded that they give me a "New iPad" ... "Because I'm worth it" xD
He must have given him 4s because they could not give him an explanation of what happened obviously, they did not know that this could have caused something more serious x that when you buy that cell phone they do not tell you, do not leave it carrying a lot x that nobody will buy it x The children and oneself one burns asleep and it does not count for my best motorola razr they are very fiery because they declared it the best smartphone to date the fastest thinnest in the world etc and that they do not want scandals so as not to lose losses as they have past since droid razd came out by mktorola
Vomit the dots, you've eaten them all.
If it breaks due to a factory fault, they will change it for a similar model, if it is in stock, and if it is not, they will change it for a superior one, never inferior.
Has an iPhone 4 broken? Yes.
Is there stock of iPhone 4? Yes.
Are you going to get an iPhone 4s? Obviously not.
psss my iPhone 4 also gets very hot, sometimes I am afraid that it will explode in my hands ... regarding what happened to this user I would not have asked them to give me another one of those deadly traps, I would have directly changed my brand and judgment to the enterprise…
Well, apple would have been like a man (which he is not) giving him the immediately superior model. Or is it that they cannot afford it with their outrageous profit margin?
That a device of his explodes is not turkey mucus ... and the least they could do is to have compensated a little for the scare with a better model, don't you think?
The "new iPad" promises to multiply this news, and that of roasted bodies by their temperature.
This comment smells bad to me, it looks like this is caused to get a 4s for the face ...
Well I think there should be no problem in giving it a 4s
after all, they are not so different from each other.
