Seems that 2016 is will be remembered as the year of the devices incendiary. It was in this year when Samsung has had a very serious problem in this regard with the Galaxy Note 7, a device that came with a ruling, probably design, making that the last phablet of the Korean firm could ignite at any time. Now, this weekend, an Australian called Mat Jones said that an iPhone 7 burned burned his car.
According to Jones, a master of surfing, the owner of the iPhone 7 burned Let your device in your car under some clothes, probably to not leave it in sight and away from the view of any possible thief, while went to give a class. When he returned he saw that it was coming out smoke and had flames that came from the area which had left his iPhone 7, device that had bought was only a week.
Is to worry about is this case of an iPhone 7 burned?
Well, I think the answer is that not. Although it is likely that Apple give away an iPhone to Jones by what happened, everything seems to indicate that the iPhone had problems by exposure to high temperatures, more specifically your battery. Even if the room temperature is less than 40 °, inside a car the temperature can increase to the point of merging some materials, something that I have come to see in a case/guitar case that was in the trunk of a car parked on the beach for a couple of hours (that Yes, the guitar was intact).
Apple has already been in contact with Jones to find out what happened, but it is almost certain that this will be an isolated case, very different from what motivated to Samsung to withdraw from the market its Galaxy Note 7. In any case, the experience of the surfer is a clear example that the warnings that tell us how to store an electronic device are there for something, isn’t it?
