Apple iPhone, glows red, emits smoke - Polidicks

What is it with apple and exploding/flammable shit?

What do you expect when you pay for crap? :D

[QUOTE=TomoAlien;33488991] Don't be afraid of them, these only burst into enormous flames only with heavy misuse.

iPhone 4's battery's can be taken out in like 30 seconds if you have the right tool.

Engadget's jokes for this were dreadful: [quote]It suffered only [url=http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/]mild reception issues[/url] prior to its final collapse, and if faced with a similar situation, [b]Siri reportedly stated that it would consult a therapist before discharging hot fury.[/b][/quote]

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;33489104]What is it with apple and exploding/flammable shit?[/QUOTE] absolutely nothing, they just sell more units than everyone else so they also end up with a larger margin of errors/issues like this

I wonder what the macrumors guys have to say about this "Omg it's obviously a jailbroken phone!!!"

Funny how stuff like this only appears on a news site when it happens with an Apple product.

[QUOTE=Killuah;33487692]Well to be honesf. a few within millions is well within error rates you can't control.[/QUOTE] But since when were error rates explosions and not just simply failing?

Can have our carbon nano tube batteries now scientists?

What if it was a bomb and they tried to blow up the plane?

[QUOTE=TomoAlien;33488991]Well, that could happen to any electronics that uses Li-Po batteries, since they're quite flammable. Look at this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DcpANRFrI4[/media] Don't be afraid of them, these only burst into enormous flames only with heavy misuse.

If you're gonna threat them well and follow the guidelines included to them they should be fine.[/QUOTE] Lipo batteries can also swell up if used until under 20% of its capacity. It will swell until its 3 times the original size, it will explode or burst and smoke comes out of it. So super cool fiery explosion though. Most devices that uses lipo has a special cutoff which will avoid this problem. But looks like apple's cut-off is failing.

[QUOTE=ddrl46;33489615]Funny how stuff like this only appears on a news site when it happens with an Apple product.[/QUOTE] Are you suggesting that they are not all they are hyped up to be?

[QUOTE=Best4bond;33487715]inb4 australia bans jokes.[/QUOTE] They banned those jokes. [editline]29th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Adarrek;33490844]What if it was a bomb and they tried to blow up the plane?[/QUOTE] Apple, secretly a branch of Al-Qaeda.

Apple. Thinking outside of the box. And if it can't think itself out of the box, it burns its way out.

Feces can overheat? Huh...

[QUOTE=znk666;33493025]Feces can overheat? Huh...[/QUOTE] They might have a high heat tolerance but yes yes they can.

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;33489194]iPhone 4's battery's can be taken out in like 30 seconds if you have the right tool.[/QUOTE] I only need one type of tool to remove the battery from my phone. My hands. See where I'm heading?

Someone tried to play tetris.

"It's a feature."

I guess we can agree on one thing: Thank fuck this didn't happen in America.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;33488592]Australia bans ion batteries, forced to run on solar as we have so much fucking sunlight. Jesus christ.[/QUOTE] Why don't the Australians set up a shitload of solar panels and sell off their surplus electricity to neighboring countries? Oh wait, it's because they're an island. tbh though I don't know how far you can run submarine power cables before significant problems begin to crop up.
