Apple: 'Exploding' iPhones 'not out fault'

Computerworld UK - Apple Inc. claims the latest reports of "exploding" iPhones are caused by an "external force" and not by bursting into flames due to overheating batteries.

Responding to the latest reports of faulty iPhones, this time in France, Apple said that all of the handsets they had seen had broken screens showing outside pressure had caused the cracking and not internal heat.

"In all cases the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone," Alan Hely, a London-based spokesman for Apple Europe said.

"There are no confirmed battery overheating incidents for iPhone 3GS and the number of reports we are investigating is in the single digits."

Despite the reassurances, Herve Novelli, France's secretary of state for trade and consumer affairs, met with Apple's Michel Coulomb to discuss the "causes of the implosion of these devices and eventual measures they could take," according to the Associated Press. A representative at the ministry declined to comment on the meeting Bloomberg reported.

Gooooooo Apple!

actually are trying to fake an explosion to try to get some money out of Apple.

Until someone caught it happening on camera.

Apple is a corporation and since iPhones overheating will impact the number of iPhones sold, therefore <magic poof!> iPhones don't overheat and all reported problems are caused by the owners.
