"Exploding" iPhone puts fanboy in ER

Exploding? No it is just expanding

The incredible hissing iPhone 7 is taking its hatred of Apple fanboys to a new level – it has started exploding and putting them in hospital.

Of course while the Tame Apple Press were braying for Samsung to recall its Note 7, the exploding iPhone 7s are getting little in the way of coverage at all. In fact there might be a lot more of these problems out there but they are being kept quiet.

A reader told Phone Arena that he was out with some friends when all of a sudden his iPhone caught on fire. Clearly the device was not used to its owner going into the outside world, although we are unsure about the concept of an Apple fanboy having friends.  The phone was sitting in his back pocket, where it was bending nicely, when it burned through his jeans and caused second-degree burns on the left side of his body and on his left index finger.

The person was treated in the emergency room, according to his claims. The iPhone apparently exploded after business hours, so he contacted Apple about it the next day. He is hoping that Apple replaces his phone, Phone Arena says.

An investigation will surely follow, as Apple will want to know why the phone allegedly exploded and make its owner write out a 100 times that he should not have allowed his phone to explode.

The Tame Apple Press which has reported the cases of the exploding iPhones have actually have denied they are actually exploding.  Apparenly the iPhone batteries are just "expanding" or "inflating" yet when Samsung did the same thing they were death traps.
