An iPhone explodes in the face of a young French man

iPhone Bursts

A young man was talking on the iPhone with his girlfriend when the phone exploded in his face causing a slight injury to one eye. It has happened in Aix-en-Provence (France).

The phone started to crackle, the glass screen cracked and exploded, throwing small fragments which they were embedded on the face of the boy, 18 years old, who required medical attention.

Apple has assured that the explosion of an iPhone is "impossible". The teenager and his girlfriend assured that the phone it was not excessively hot before it exploded. «I had it 30 centimeters from my face when I felt like a grain of sand in the eye, ”said the teenager.

So far, Apple France has not made any comments or sent any official statement.

    This is a conspiracy against Apple.

    How can the girlfriend say that the iphone was not too hot before it exploded, if supposedly she was on the other side of the phone ... and how do you talk on the phone with the girlfriend, with the phone 30 cm from her face ... that smells of singe history and I'm afraid that apple is not going to bite ...

    I had the car parked in the garage and suddenly scratches and bumps began to appear on the bumper, suddenly the paint lost its shine and a wheel got flat! I called the dealer to change it for a new one ... Anyway, everyone here wants to get a slice

    Men!

    The iPhone I have to say that something gets hot, but I am surprised that these things happen, Apple does not make computers, mobile phones or mp3 / mp4 of poor quality, not even remotely, but it can happen, something like this always happens ... anyway I I would take it to Apple and have them disassemble it and see if there is something burned inside or is it just one more joke that is being used now to sink a company, like urban legends.

    Heeee !!!! Stop the car a couple of weeks ago I read in this blog, that an ipod touch, started to heat up and »exploded» ... in the end I never knew if it was true or a lie ... and by the way, if these 2 news were true, it would be coincidence or is that apple does not sell products as good as Farda .... another thing and what does the doctor say
    Or the nurse who attended the kid?… ..puuufff m it sounds like Apple is taking care of its products

  15.   Ker09 said

    Aer that the news is that the boy was holding the mobile of a friend and at that moment a friend (here they say it is the girlfriend) was with him (Normal that then the girl says that the
    iphone) then the screen "exploded" etc etc….

    Let's see, I would like to see an official response from Apple explaining why it is impossible for it to explode, since with the information we have it is possible:

    Lithium-ion batteries according to Wikipedia:

    "They can overheat to the point of exploding: They are made of flammable materials that make them prone to detonations or fires, so it is necessary to equip them with electronic circuits that control the battery at all times."

    Now, if Apple gives a reason why this is 100% controlled then ok. To me, personally, it also smells like a plot so that people are afraid of the iPhone, because the piece of cake that Apple is taking begins to annoy the main mobile manufacturers. And of course, how people believe everything that is said out there ...

    And if it is true?

  18.   X's said

    How cool, when I hit my iMac and the building where I live collapsed, I will pose with a tycoon pose with all my neighbors to send it along with my complaint to Apple ...

    Daweed, it looks all right ...

    GREETINGS 😀

    It is possible that the battery exploded and hit the glass, remember that from time to time you hear that some batteries explode in other brands of mobile phones for some reason.

  20.   rafancp said

    Yes, the batteries can explode, all of them, but of that size the most that you will notice is that the phone heats up and that the case is pushed a little, not at all that it explodes like a firecracker and that pieces of it get embedded in your eye glass of a phone that is 30 cm away ...

  21.   adrian said

    It does not make any sense.

  22.   manquake said

    RafaNcp, you are wrong, the batteries do explode like a firecracker, even the batteries, in fact a button cell burst for me and don't see the noise it makes, that without being imprisoned anywhere, imagine a battery like the one in the iphone. That does not mean that I believe that this happened to this French boy.
    By the way, the Nokia batteries it is true that they exploded, since I had a Nokia with a defective battery and it was registered in the Nokia house, which contacted me and changed it without any expense or anything for the The danger posed by having detected that some of the series of that battery came to explode.

    The iPhone did not display the overheating message and the system stopped? Or did I dream it? I seem to remember that even in actualidadiphone There was a photo and a "joking" comment about the topic that was getting hot in summer and a photo in which you could see the iPhone with the image and stopped due to overheating.

  24.   X's said

    And why hasn't their laptop exploded ????????
    Do you really think they sell us bombs? I believe that if it overheats, it starts to decompose (like melt), not explode.

    Greetings ..

    EXPLODE EXPLODE ME EXPLOOOO EXPLODE EXPLODE MY AIIIFONNN¡¡¡
    No man that the phones do not explode, look on the internet, you will see how these news are always published in very unreliable newspapers! Do you know the burdens of controls that have to pass in the European Union, the United States or Canada, any telecommunication device? ?

  26.   rafancp said

    shut up dude, the pile is going to come out ...

  27.   manquake said

    RafaNcp, there I am with you. That is the real danger of a mobile.

    Well, look, I'm not a fan or not a fan of anything, even though I must confess that almost all my life I have used Apple computers and that personally I prefer them over any PC even with my eyes closed.

    Well, well I had a black macbook laptop about 3 years old and the battery has swelled to the point of, even if you don't believe me, explode. Not only swelling and now but literally exploding like a projectile, fortunately I had it well stored in a box inside a drawer in a closet of a room that nobody occupies, because as soon as I realized that it had swelled I went to Apple and they told me that The recall to change the battery had already finished, well, no way, but I assumed that due to the damage that the battery presented, they had to take care of it (since with lithium you can even be poisoned) when wanting to leave it with the manager, he told me They did not take charge of the battery that I had to take it with me, but what was I going to do with the battery, I couldn't throw it away just like that, so I kept it while I decided what to do.

    Well, it was the only thing I wanted to tell you, the laptop batteries do explode and like projectiles that when it happened in my house I was two floors down in the garage and even so I heard the explosion really loud and even broke the drawer where it was .

    By the way, I do not know if it is my luck, but of each laptop that we have had in my family (about 6 and all Apple) we have had to change the charger like 4 times before its warranty expires for me they are a shame those chargers.

    By the way I leave a video where a laptop (it is not apple but the battery is lithium) explodes http://www.taringa.net/posts/videos/1440184/explotan-las-baterias-de-litio.html

    Okay.
    regards

    Of course they explode, similar to a firecracker but big, apart from being toxic. But the percentage of cases is very very small. The truth is that it scares and it is better not to think about it, because although MIKER had it stored in a drawer I am surrounded by them and right now I have one in my pocket xD

    Now, they are all, not only those of Apple, in fact the batteries are not manufactured by Apple, they will be from Samsung, Sony or LG, I don't know, Apple has used many ... you have the same chances that an iPhone explodes than a Nokia , and whoever says that they do not heat up is that they have not had an NSeries 😛

  30.   ValePoint said

    Haber Rafa, I apologize, the first thing is that it hurts to read that they say everything is a lie, when this has been happening all our life, lithium is highly flammable and polluting, and creates hydrogen ... and there is nothing worse than hydrogen with temperature ...... it is a projectile and in fact there are already people with damage, it does not have to be Apple, in Nokia we had already seen it, and all brands advise against other batteries that are not theirs ...
    I have a nseries and I confirm that it heats up, the iPhone has a virtue and a flaw, the extreme thinness ... .. what does the plates are very close together and the battery does not ... I mean that it heats up and with good reason ...

    The rafa car, I'm a commercial and the hell I have to use it when driving, I have no choice, always in the city of course, I have hands-free on the radio but to look for a number, on the physical keyboard it takes 5 seconds and with the iPhone I would have to take the view of the road, that's why I said that in the other post… ..

    Greetings to all

  31.   rafancp said

    what other post?

  32.   ok point said

    The other post in which I said that I used it while driving, I did not talk about driving in this post, it was in another, what do you smoke ??? more than anything to buy it too …… ..

  33.   rafancp said

    But if I have not read you saying anything about using it driving macho, I repeat that I did not say it for you if not for everyone who does it in general, IT WAS A CRITICAL TO A WAY OF ACTING NOT TO A PERSON

  34.   manquake said

    Valepunto, that's what I also understood, a general criticism, not direct towards you. Don't get mad at the man. Also, think about one thing, how would you know that you were a commercial or something like that, you have not commented on it until you have felt alluded to, when it should not be like that. Make amends man and let's leave the offtopic and continue with what this thread goes.

    It has been a coincidence, look at that post and what I say in it, I thought you were saying it because of that comment of mine, but neither do you dramatize that nothing happens.

    hahaha good the commented Nanditoz.

    An integrated one, from a sound card, which was smaller than a «gsm», blew me apart and filled the whole room with smoke.
    That's for people who say they don't blast that loud.

    It is already the second news, but nothing is known about how they end.
