The phone was in the passenger seat, being charged while running, there was a huge hole in the passenger seat (what was left of it), it happened very quickly. The phone continued to dissipate the power being fed to it which probably exhausted any fuel.

BTW, what was left of the phone was sitting at the bottom of the hole in the seat.

The whole front interior caught fire and the temperatures were very high. Why, I was there trying to put the fire out.

Circumstantial right now.

The fire dept was not called because we were able to put it out ourselves with two fire extinguishers. It happened in the parking lot of the business where we work so we had fire extinguishers handy. I'll shoot some pix. The car is still in the parking lot.

Oh, I thought you said it was being used at the same time as being charged. Now it is just lying on the seat. You do know that cars are designed to have iOS devices plugged into them to feed music and other capabilities while also being charged, do you not? I suspect you are making a load of assumptions with little basis in fact.
