An iPhone 7 Plus caught fire next to the head of a woman who was sleeping peacefully and was woken up in the middle of the night by the battery that began to emit sparks. The iPhone 7 Plus terminal was thrown by the woman on the floor and continued to burn for about 3 minutes before the fire went out by itself, all without the woman being injured in any way.
It is not known if the iPhone 7 Plus terminal was left charging, or if an original charger was used, but the woman claims that she bought it in March. Of course, the fire started from the battery, as happens with any smartphone that catches fire, but because we are talking about a case from China, there are many unknowns.
The woman took the iPhone 7 Plus terminal back to the store where she bought it, but the people there refused to return the money paid until the reason for the explosion was identified. There is a very high possibility that the iPhone 7 Plus terminal was not purchased from Apple, and the woman claims that she will not buy another iPhone in the future if she is not given a guarantee that it will not explode.
There is no information regarding the possible involvement of Apple in the possible investigation of the causes of the iPhone 7 Plus explosion, the American company will probably be contacted. This is not the first case where there is information suggesting that an iPhone 7 Plus exploded and it probably won't be the last, so it will be interesting if we ever find out what happened.
"Even if they decide to give me a brand-new iPhone, I won't accept it until they can provide guarantees that something like this won't happen again."
