The world’s leading smartphone makers just can’t stop copying each other. While the company has certainly improved its image over the past few years, Samsung is likely most famous for being an Apple copycat. After all, the company was sued repeatedly by Apple for stealing its technology and designs. And as we all learned, things got so crazy at one point that Samsung even created a 132-page internal document to help its engineers copy the iPhone pixel by pixel.

Who makes the battery? I know laptop manufactures do not make their own batteries. Is the same true with cell phones.
Batteries that blow and Tim Cook... the jokes write themselves.
Exploding phones, 1st the Samsung note 7, now the iPhone7 Has ISIS developed a secret plan?
It was a higher quality explosion than the Samsung.
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.

If you had read the article, you’d have seen that it was like that when he first received and opened the box. This has been the one and only example of this happening that I’ve seen.
Extract from linked article:
“...Unlike Samsung’s somewhat widespread Galaxy Note 7 problem that was due to a battery defect, however, this iPhone exploded while in transit, according to the phone’s owner. When he received the iPhone he ordered and took it out of the box, this is what he found....”
