iPhone 6S explodes before CCTV cameras

@ 2017/03/17
The Tame Apple Press is playing down CCTV footage of an iPhone 6 Plus exploding.

Australian Simon Owen shared CCTV footage on social media after the “battery failed and exploded”.

The footage shows the customer pressing his thumbs down on the iPhone, which already has a cracked screen, before smoke fills the shop.

“A customer came into the store with screen damaged iPhone 6+ for repair. [They] wanted to repair a broken screen and complained of the Apple brand battery not holding charge,” a spokesperson for the store said.

He had just got around to removing the customer’s Otterbox [smartphone case] and was preparing to book the phone in.
