The video clip below was allegedly recorded in October in an unknown GSM service, and it shows what appears to be a iPhone 7 which explodes. The device catches fire while being disassembled by the GSM service employee and of course it cannot be confirmed without doubt that the terminal is indeed an iPhone 7.
From the images, the device that catches fire while being unfolded appears to be an iPhone 7, but at the same time it could be a clone from China, or any other Android smartphone that looks like it. Despite this, the video still shows us how dangerous are the repairs made by people who do not have the necessary experience to do this.
An incident of this kind can happen with any kind of smartphone if the person opening it is not careful and does not have experience in what he is doing. Any battery can explode if it is cracked during the opening of the terminal case, so you must be extremely careful where you take your terminals to be repaired.
My advice is not to take your terminals to unauthorized services, or with which you have not had good experiences, because incidents of this kind can happen at any time and you will then have to wait for that service to replace your terminal, but it is extremely unlikely to receive a new one.
