French investigate 10 cases of exploding iPhones
French authorities have launched an official inquiry into reports of exploding iPhones as at least ten French consumers claiming to have fallen victim to the phenomenon, the Daily Telegraph reports.
An 80-year-old pensioner from the Paris suburbs was among the latest group to complain after his iPhone screen cracked up in his hands. A day after a supermarket watchman claimed he was hurt in the eye when his screen suddenly shattered.
Other cases involving Apple’s best-selling device have been reported in the US and Britain, all apparently due to overheated lithium ion batteries.
None of the incidents has caused a serious injury but the European Commission have said they are looking into the claims. For their part, Apple insist the exploding screen cases were “isolated incidents”.
