Be aware all iPhone users: The device is a time bomb!

 

Keep your distant for all the iPhone user around you. The iPhone may explode anytime. Don’t believe me? Read the rest of the story below.

Just recently, another headlines sounded like this, “Yet another exploding iPhone”. This incident happens to a French teenager, when his girlfriend’s iPhone screen suddenly exploded, just a week ago Apple was accused of trying to suppress news of an exploding iPod Touch.

According to the AFP, Marie-Dominique Kolega contacted Apple after her son was hit by a flying piece of Jobsian status symbol. Apparently, the iPhone made a hissing noise before the screen shattered, sending shards through the air. "My son was frightened but he did not lose an eye," Kolega told AFP.

Earlier this month, Liverpudlian Ken Stanborough told The Times of London that after he contacted Apple about his daughter's exploding iPod Touch - which made its own hissing sound before rocketing ten feet in the air - the company said it would refund the price of the device if Stanborough and daughter signed a confidentiality agreement banning them from publicly discussing the incident.

Meanwhile, a recent investigation from the a Seattle TV station found that at least 15 people have complained of fire- and burn-related iPod incidents. This info was culled from an 800-page Consumer Product Safety Commission document, and according to the TV station, Apple lawyers tried to suppress that too.

So, if your iPhone started to make the “hissing” sound, you better leave it and walk away fast. No offence to Apple, I’m sticking to my HTC made device.
