iPhone 4 Explodes Midflight on Australian Airline Apple’s iPhones are always among the hottest gadgets of any holiday shopping season, but for one passenger on an Australian flight, the phone was too hot to handle — literally. While on Australian flight Regional Express ZL319 Friday, a passenger’s iPhone 4 (not the iPhone 4S, which is Apple’s latest model) suddenly started “emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow,” according to a Regional Express statement. The plane, which was flying from Lismore to Sydney, was in the midst of landing when the incident occured. “In accordance with company standard safety procedures, the flight attendant carried out recovery actions immediately, and the red glow was extinguished successfully,” according to Regional Express’ statement. After landing, the iPhone was handed over to officials at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. There’s no official word yet on what caused the phone to combust. Exploding Apple products are rare, but explosions have happened in the past, mostly related to the devices’ lithium ion batteries overheating. The European Union launched an investigation in 2009 after multiple instances of iPhones and iPod Touches exploding or catching fire midflight were reported in the U.K., Holland, France and Sweden. Apple also recalled its first-generation of iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 because the battery would overheat and “pose a safety risk,” according to the company’s website. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2011/11/iphone-4-explodes-midflight-on-australian-airline/ |

The i-phone 4 is known to have stability issues especially if your IOS is 4.3.5. Previously,Sometimes after a call,I find mine has gotten very hot,so I switched the phone off for a while.I remedied the situation by upgrading to IOS 5.0.1 |

Re: Iphone 4 Explodes Midflight On Australian Airline by Blackteeth(m): 6:56am On Dec 01, 2011 |
@rejoice247. All phones can ignite fuel at close range due to the radiation emitted in course of recieving or making a call. |

Are you Sure You Know What A IPhone 4 is? |
Re: Iphone 4 Explodes Midflight On Australian Airline by baslone: 3:35pm On Dec 01, 2011 |
Is that suppose to be an insult or something? Well, I know a little bit about APPLE- at least you can catch a glimpse of me playing around with my Ipad on my profile. You should have checked that before directing your question to me. I am not a techie guy like all y'all but I can still find my way round my pro mac, ipad2, ipod 4th generation and an iphone 3. Call it greedy but It's simply because I have easy access to getting them. I also sell as past time. You interested in buying, you can email me baslonedlt@yahoo.com No beefs abeg, next time just look before you leap!!!!
