Hey Swordmaker. I watched a car go up in flames yesterday because the owner had their Iphone plugged into the dash and was charging and using at the same time.

The whole front passenger area is a mess with the passenger seat gone. That is where the phone was sitting. And of course, the phone was a big blob of melted plastic and metal.

No one was hurt, thank God.

Interesting. How do you know that was the cause? For extra credit tell us exactly where this happened so it can be confirmed.

I call BS.

Plastic? What plastic? Link and proof. iPhones are made out of aircraft grade Aluminum 7000 Alloy and Gorilla Glass with very little plastic even inside for very small circuit boards covered by a lot of metal shielding. Most likely you saw a plastic Android phone. . . if you saw anything at all.

iPhones are perfectly OK for being charged and used at the same time so long as they are being charged with Apple approved "Made for iPhone" switching power supply chargers that meet the specs Apple has published.
