A number of exploding iPhones was reported in France in recent time. The owners thought the batteries were to blame due to overheating yet Apple France denied the allegations.
The firm analyzed the damages and sees that the broken screens was due to the external force. “The iPhones with broken glass that we have analysed to date show that in all cases the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone.”
Herve Novelli, secretary of state for trade and consumer affairs, said he would question Apple’s Michel Coulomb about the “causes of the implosion of these devices and eventual measures they could take,” according to AP.
Many cases similar to these were also reported in some EU countries and few in the US.
The European Commission also used its Rapex system to issue an alert to its 27 member states about the problem.
Rapex is the EU rapid alert system for dangerous consumer products.
Hope that Apple can have measures to these for the well-being of their consumers.
