There’s a convenience store security video on YouTube that shows a phone in a guys pants pocket just spontaneously combusting.

As I understand it, phones lighting off isn’t all that rare.

My old Fitbit went crazy one day and decided to burn me. I managed to rip it off and toss it onto the back deck pavers before too much damage.

Was it near the Gaza Strip?

Yep. So many peop,e walk around with them in pockets. Cant imagine one in a shirt pocket going off right under the face.

Newer batteries are better though at not getting to point of exploding, but they still can. When they get wet, and or batteries are old, that is when they pose greatest danger. I think that one of guy in store got his phone wet if i remember right. It was a wild video

Many more great videos of thousands of Palestinian pagers exploding simultaneously in their pants.
