Iphone Catches Fire In Owners Pocket. by mcdokwe(m): 1:57pm On Oct 24, 2014
Ice and freezey: The red-hot iPhone is bathed
in ice
"Then it hit me, my phone was in my pocket."
A passer-by threw a cup of water on Mr Lechter’s
jeans to extinguish the fire, he said.
And another man scorched his hand when he tried
to pick up the phone.
In a video apparently taken soon after the incident,
the iPhone can be heard sizzling as ice is poured
on it.
Mr Lechter claims the iPhone burned through his
jeans and boxers.
Sought after: Apple sold 39 million iPhones in
the financial quarter that ended in September
It had left a second-degree burn four inches long
on his leg and another on his hip where he had
pulled out the phone.
He added: "This was a surreal experience, and if it
hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t believe it
myself."
The story comes hot on the heels of the
#bendgate controversy over the iPhone 6.
Shortly after the coveted technology was launched,
some Apple-lovers reported that their new
smartphones bent simply by being carried in their
pockets.
Apple said that it only received nine complaints
about iPhone 6 Plus phones bending after testing
15,000 smartphones.
Mirror Online has approached Apple for a
comment.
