iPhone 4 battery on fire

Written by Esme Vos

My brother took this photo of an iPhone 4 on fire. He says: “I was in Starbucks today when suddenly a lot of smoke from the table of another customer rose up and filled the whole place. Employees took the phone outside where I took this picture. The heat expanded the battery, popping off the back case cover. So yes this stuff does happen.”

You’re living dangerously Esme…! Did you take the picture with your own iPhone?
