Note: this is from BGR, a self-admitted Apple fan site. Now iPhones are blowing up as well, we'll see how Apple deals with this one.

Well, that settles it. The UN needs to control the sale, use, and content of all cell phones in the US.

Fake.
If real, the box would have burned.

Yeah but its Apple so its not a flaw but a feature.
To: Shanghai Dan
Looks like the box might have been torn up in transit. I wonder if the phone was damaged when the box was torn and that triggered the meltdown.
To: Shanghai Dan
Who makes the battery? I know laptop manufactures do not make their own batteries. Is the same true with cell phones.

I’d say phones are getting to the place where some pointless ambition of the sellers is ahead of R+D.

Must be something about the number 7, bad luck for phones. Take note LG, your time is coming.

It’s not a flaw. Apple has joined with Tesla
This is Apples new seat warmer feature

Thousands of Samsung phones exploding or having overheating issues, forcing a recall of millions.
A story of one iPhone 7 phone supposedly exploding in the box during transit.
No comparison, not rating a recall the likes of Samsung recalling millions of phones.

I think this is a plot by the Chinese.
Burn down America bit by bit with iPhones and Note 7’s etc.
To: Shanghai Dan
if you look at the other pictures at on reddit, it’s obvious that the phone was heavily damaged during shipment.
So, do you know what happens when you damage a battery?
Bogus.

FBI Director, James Comey has attributed it as an internal flaw introduced by Russian Hackers.

An Apple iPhone 7 has been found to have over heated and/or caught fire during shipping to its purchaser. BGR reports "All joking aside — and before other sites catch wind of this story and go crazy with it — this clearly appears to be an isolated incident, at least for the time being" . . . but it is worrisome. It is known that Lithium Ion Polymer batteries have a failure rate of approximately 1 in 6,000,000 in this fashion, and estimates are Apple sold more than 12 million in the first weekend of iPhone 7 sales, so just on the expected LIP battery failure rate, there should be two. Look for at least one more. — PING! Thanks to Mark17 for the heads and Shanghai Dan for posting the article.
Could it be the number 7 that causes fires?
Ping!
