Iphone 6 Explodes in mans pocket.

[XTankSlayerX]

 

Everything with a battery can explode and probably will. Has happened to many devices before, nothing new. Just more bad PR for apple if its anything.

 

Seems very odd, Not sure if click bait but oh well.

Smells of sensationalism and bullshit clickbait from a nobody publication that you have selected to start a hater riot.

"More features from the iphone 6"

Yeah well I have also seen exploded samsung phones plenty of times. 

[dizmo]

Surprise surprise. It happens. I think most phones have exploded in someones pocket at one point in time.

Don't....

[TroubleKlef]

Possibly due to battery puncture?

 

What are consumers doing to their phones and then blaming Apple that it was under normal use?

A user of an iPhone 6 report the explosion of the new model of smart phone Apple phone when carrying in your pocket while riding her bicycle. Phillip Lechter , American entrepreneur, has publicicado on his personal blog the event and have attached several pictures that proof . As discussed , the mobile phone caught fire while walking with his family on bicycles in Tucson (Arizona, USA). The explosion of this terminal, he says it acquired last September, has produced burns on his leg.

It doubles as fire starter in a survival situation!!!

Smoke signals!

 

the possibilitys are endless!

Lol, I love how it's bent

[Psykomantis00]

Yea I'm sure this is legit and not clickbait. That phone didn't explode in his pocket like that. It may have exploded, but it was bent and punctured the battery causing the explosion. That's a pretty far bend too, definitely not something that someone wearing hipster pants would achieve by just setting down. 

[Yoinkerman]

The real question is did it bend before or after it exploded!?!?!?

[Opcode]

I guess the battery couldn't take the microwaving super charging.

The bend is why it exploded. Cause and effect.

You know after reading some of these replies im wondering if you guys are even reading the sources provided by the OP..

 

"The harrowing experience began when the pedicab in which Lechter and his family were riding lost its balance and tipped over to the left. He says he was jostled to the point of being half on, half off the rickshaw. After checking to make sure his wife and son were OK, Lechter noticed that something was off about his leg."

 

Yes.. The phone did get bent and yes it does seem as though the battery was punctured however reading these replies you make it seem as though you think the person had intentionally bent the phone. IF the source is legit then this was nothing more then an accident, Not intentional mistreatment of the device resulting in this mans injuries.

An engineering flaw prevented this one from bending so he used a firecracker to force the bend and not be left out on the "feature"

That severe bend is impossible if it was in his pocket. I call shenanigans.

Every time a new phone comes out and it has 'exploded'. Usually it's just because the owner decided to use some very bad fake charger. Or the owner just wants attention.

So glad I just Bought a one plus one! however if that blows up with the size of the battery I think I will need a new hand and house.

[Wano97]

People really enjoy ripping on Apple, it seems. This, or any of the other 'problems' could have and has happened with any other phone

Even when the new iMac got released, there was a flame topic about it.

[vm'N]

That guy most have been wearing the tightest pants in the world to make that thing blow up. [/joke]

[Tonylu1595]

I love these jokes that the news presents about phones.
