read and weep loser
Look, you repetitious asshat, I've responded to you this same article twice before last month, and nothing has changed since then. Why are you repeatedly claiming the same thing when it has been roundly debunked as not a serious issue with this model iPhone or any iPhone, for that matter? It is apparently only in your delusional mind that it even approaches an issue. The major media HAS reported on this and dismissed it, but that's not enough for you!
The first fire they were talking about in this article you keep posting was an iPhone 7 Plus that was damaged in shipment that the shipping box was crushed, the iPhone box inside, the iPhone 7, and the iPhone 7's battery itself were all penetrated and badly damaged by some hard object in the incident. One does NOT EVER damage a Lithium Ion battery without creating the conditions for a fire. . . and this incident was no different. It caught fire.
Exterior box damage as received.
Interior Box Damage.
IPhone 7 with damage as found inside box.
There was NOTHING spontaneous about this first fire, it was created by an outside application of force during a shipping accident.
The fire that was the primary purpose of the article occurred in a car belonging to an Australian surfer trainee who left his iPhone 7 while on charge (later investigators found he was in fact using a third party, non-Apple certified car charger contrary to his self-serving claims it was not) on the seat in his shut up car in the sun under a dark pair of jeans. Temperatures in the car reached over 140º due to a hot day and no shade where he was parked. Again, not something that was an advisable thing to do. When the surfer returned after a day of surfing education, he found fire damage on his car seat and his car full of smoke.
No threat of a full iPhone 7 recall, as hinted in the over-the-top hyperbole headline, was ever spoken about or considered by Apple, any government agency, or private consumers' safety organization. . . it was the pipe-dream of a headline writer to get advertising click through.
Doing Google Searches and other search engines, there are only THESE TWO fires associated with the iPhone 7 out of now over 30,000,000 iPhone 7 units sold in under three months, yet you want people to believe your claims that there is something to "weep" about. YOU ARE DELUSIONAL!
As Fortune Magazine stated in its October 21, 2016 report on the Australian incident "And at least so far, there haven’t been widespread claims that the iPhone 7, which reached store shelves last month, is overheating and catching fire." There are no widespread reports of other fires associated with Apple iPhone 7. You had to go back a month and a half to RE-POST an old report with hype in it to even come up with this report from origination from an Australian TV station.
As 9 to 5 Mac, also on October 21, 2016 reported in their article on the Australian iPhone 7 incident, it is not unusual to see some iPhone fires every year or month.
"That there have been a number of iPhone fires over the years is in no way surprising. The overall failure rate of lithium batteries is around 1 in 10 million. When you have a billion active iOS devices, you’d expect around 100 of them to catch fire, so a handful of isolated cases is not evidence of any issue specific to the iPhone."
That is the exact point I have been making based on the statistical failure rate of Lithium Ion batteries in general.
Now, arl295, quit lying and stop repeatedly posting your DELUSIONAL TWADDLE on every iPhone thread!
