    This is not the 2nd but 3rd incident. Two in recent weeks and one last year also on a flight.

    I think I know why these iPhones Explodes is because they don't use the right charger that come with the product

    The android fanboys crack me up becoz I have both android and iOS and I had to “root" the android (wat the call jailbreaking) just to use it but I don't see the point jailbreaking my 4S there is just no need to anymore.Also WHY does everyone only think about the instances that hit the news! There would be more and if u look hard enough u'll find the same thing with other fones

    Guess you have no idea about Finland. 85% of our mobile phones are nokia and under 20% of the smart phones are iphones. Don't think the numbers in Helsinki would be so different..

    All the "exploded" phones were 4's. You can tell the other one is a 4 because you can clearly see it's serial number in the picture. Jailbreaking would not cause this...that's just stupid. Maybe it's altitude since 2 happened on airplanes and one in a tall hotel. Also to all you android queers...go read the story above this one about how droid devices record your texts, keystrokes, passwords, browsing history and literally everything you do on your phone.

    Stupid writter:"It's unclear as to what the ultimate cause of each incidence was, and whether or not it's related to the recent start of iPhone production in Brazil."No, IT'S CLEAR! Has NOTHING TO DO, you idiot! You've said before:"Ayla Mota's was an iPhone 4 that she had recently bought in France, and her warranty only covers devices bought in Brazil."If it was bought on France, how can we blame the brazilian factory?!

    Sorry man, but it's not android's fault, it's carriers fault. The carriers are recording all, installing rootkits and stuff. And remember, motorola phones exploded in the past, so it's not about "apple or android or motorola or nokia or jesus or skyrim".

    In case, you didn't know, iPhones until recently were manufactured in China and shipped to whichever country Apple sells the iPhone.So just like an iPhone manufactured in China can reach France, an iPhone manufactured in Brazil can also be sold in France.Yes, the chances maybe remote that is the reason Yatri is saying it out loud rather than stating it as a matter of fact.Get your facts right before you write, especially when you want to call someone stupid.

    I'm sorry, but these hardly sound like "explosions" to me. Sure, the thing melted down or some other term, but using the word exploded sounds like nothing more than sensationalism. This doesn't even touch the fact that these occurrences are statistically insignificant.

    Explode: burst or shatter violently and noisily as a result of rapid combustion, decomposition, excessive internal pressure, or other process, typically scattering fragments widely

    Could be caused by a Samsung component in iPhone - Samsung getting their revenge !!

    you are a fucking tool... iOS limitations, more freedom and more functionality? its hilariously to see android fanboys trolling iphone sites. mind you, this same over heating issue can and will eventually happen to your nexus. the only difference is no one will care to report it because it is an android phone. obviously you are more ignorant than youre average consumer.

    I don't see how the phone being jailbroken would have anything to do with it's meltdown. I've had my iphone 4 since release. Jailbreak since i got it. I've had no issues. It has gotten a little warm at times and only when i've been using it heavily. I think it's logical that due to the very few reports of "exploding" iphones that they are due to some kind of production or hardware error.

    It is her own fault.. why does why sleep with the charger connected at night? dont have your charger connected when it is unnecessary.. in her case, the batteri was at 100% and the batteri is getting hot when it is charging and she got that plastic case that suppresses the cooling = getting hotter which leads to a meltdown of a cord inside the batteri which leads to short circuit.All the energy (ions) rushes from the positive terminal to the negative terminal that causes an explosion :) it might be only 5 volt but the current is alot more..A car battery can explode as hell even though its ONLY 11 - 14 volt :)ding* u got a liiiiittle bit smarter guysand yes, why this is not happening to others, i cant say.. either its a manufacturing or use of an unofficial charger and this should NOT happen if an unofficial charger is used but you disconnect your your batteri at 99 or soon after 100% :)

    actually.....the first one about a year ago was prob not an iphone4, was def NOT a 4s. the one that exploded last week was not confirmed to be a 4s and this last one was an iphone4, NOT a 4s.....did you READ the article? if anything the few that have had problems were all 4's not 4s's...i like how you are jumping right into the "trend" thing. if you mean 3 out of the millions of devices in use have done this and the fact that NO report officially states that the same issue was the cause of these events qualifies this as a trend then i guess your right....but i would call you reaching for a piss poor excuse to try to bash on overwhelmingly popular and high quality device.
