I'm sure you've heard various stories that featured iPhone terminals that caught fire out of nowhere, and today I have for you a similar one. It seems that during a flight over Australia, an iPhone 4 caught fire out of nowhere and scared the passengers of a plane owned by an Australian company. The device was emitting smoke and it seems that it was burning at the bottom, where the battery is located, an old source of problems not only for iPhone terminals but also for iPods, which is why Apple initiated a project to change iPod terminals with certain batteries.
Regional Express (Rex) flight ZL319 operating from Lismore to Sydney today had an occurrence after landing, when a passenger's mobile phone started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow. In accordance with company standard safety procedures, the Flight Attendant carried out recovery actions immediately and the red glow was extinguished successfully.
Of course, Apple tries to minimize this kind of incidents and they are rare anyway, but you must always be careful with the iDevices you own. This kind of incidents can happen to anyone regardless of what terminal they have, but those involving iPhones always attract the most attention from the media.
