Phillip Lecther was riding a pettiicab when all off
a sudden, the vehicle was involved in an
accident. Instead of being being ejected from
the cab, the force of the accident slammed
Lechter against the wall of the cabin he was
riding in. This force caused the Apple iPhone 6 in
Lechter's front pocket, which was nestled inside
a leather case, to bend and catch on fire.
While not every bent phone will puncture the
battery, in this case, it did. The subsequent fire
caused a second-degree burn on Lechter's leg
measuring 11.5cm x 10.5cm in size, surrounded
by an area of first-degree burns. Being
ensconced in a leather case didn't protect the
iPhone 6 from getting bent.
It would seem that if this incident proves
anything, it is that a smartphone that bends not
only looks pretty bad, it also can cause serious
bodily harm to the user. In defense of the
iPhone 6, the force of the impact might have
damaged other smartphones as well.
Unfortunately, because of the previous reports
detailing how easily the Apple iPhone 6 Plus
bends
, the first thing that comes to mind is that the
build quality of the iPhone 6 was somehow
responsible for what occured.
