Laut einer beim Obersten Gerichtshof von British Columbia eingereichten Klage erwachte ein Einwohner von British Columbia aus tiefem Schlaf und stellte fest, dass sein Schlafzimmer mit Rauch gefüllt war und sein verbranntes iPhone an seinem Bein klebte und Gas freisetzte

This dude fell asleep on his phone, likely broke it while shifting around asleep and is blaming Apple for it. Nice.
…I assume the pictured phone ain’t it, as that does not look like a 13 pro. Also willing to bet there’s a 3rd party charger involved here.
Stuck to his leg. You are an idiot if you charge a phone covered up in your bed. Batteries need to cool.
This is why most of the fires happen in airplanes now. People plug their tablet or despair rectangle in to a battery and shove it in a suitcase. Then they act surprised when it catches fire.
Where did this happen again?
Insurance and working smoke alarms, anyone ?
Not totally Apple’s fault, but at the same time, I don’t blame him for seeking damages from a multi-billion dollar company. It’s not unreasonable for them to have to pay since it’s not like he was grossly misusing it. In my opinion, neither party is totally right or wrong in this case.
Did the iPhone contain a non-apple battery somehow? Was it a refurbished device from any number of sketchy shops that are around? Did someone put a battery from amazon in it, this is more common than you think.
Now we have to move onto the charger that was being used, was it an original apple charger or other popular brand name like belkin or anker or was it some crap from the dollarama or other dollar store? Or maybe something no name from amazon.
Now the cable, was the cable damaged in any way? You would be surprised the amount of people I see using frayed cables to charge their phone, not good.
If this was an apple device that never had its battery changed and was not super old and was being used with the proper wall charger and cable I would be very concerned.
However I am betting something else is going on here. Also you are never ever supposed to charge a phone on your bed especially if you put it under your pillow or between your mattress, yes people actually do this, and the number of people that do this is more than you think.
They make millions of devices. That fact that this is so rare means it can’t be the fault of Apple without some specific proof. Shit happens. We don’t live in perfect safety, nor do we want to.
What is with all the accounts jumping to Apple’s defense in this thread? Like if ya’ll ain’t industry plants, then ya’ll need to call poison control for all that shoe polish poison you’re getting licking the boots of a billion dollar company.
The difference between people’s reaction to this vs when it happens with a Samsung is very telling lol
Who sleeps with a phone on his leg?
He’s probably one of those people who never turns off his phone.
>ABC man
123 man better watch out.
Not surprised, apple sells 10s of millions of these every year, a few will probably explode because lithium.
