Well the iPhone always puts a hole in you pocket, but this is ridiculous! LOL

Although in this instance, I think the student is at fault: "I've had it for about six months. The only thing that was wrong with it was a simple crack, but I don't see a simple crack causing it to blow up in my pocket."

Yeah, no! I never understood why anyone would keep a phone in their back pocket and constantly sit on it. And I'm sure that "simple crack" created a ticking time bomb. Surprised that this doesn't happen more often. Although if I'm remembering correctly, most of the fires/explosions with iPhones have been the result of damage to the phone prior to the episode.

I believe he may win the coveted istupid award. ;)

iPhone 7: Exploding Apple iPhone 7 shown in photos | BGR

Like Neil from The Young Ones would say (great British show BTW): Boomshanka!

Will the media and Gment latch onto this with the same fevah' as with Samsung? The media were all-in early and without verification for that.

We gettin' the Jeep Guy Effect here too?
Samsung has been in the news for exploding batteries. Now add apple to that list ;) Crazy huh. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Apple is gonna say that "their engineers have worked hard on creating the best ever exploding iPhone" LOL 😂

These things work in cycles. It may take weeks, but soon it'll get back to normal. It wouldn't surprise me if Samsung does discount the next Note &/or has freebies with future purchases.

Just watched a WCBS (Ch2 NYC) report with the student. No mention of the prior crack and nearly half the story was spent on the Note 7 recall and a fire at Disney caused by an e-cigarette. The student talked just as much about the Note 7 battery explosions/fires as his incident. The Note 7 debacle will be prevalent for at least a few more weeks.

Oh Boy!!On CNBC heard news alert that a "smoking" samsung phone on an airplane! :eek:

Don't have a link since I just heard it on CNBC in my car on Sirius. Diverted the flight I think I heard? Someone didn't exchange their phone and ignored the no smoking rule??
