Apple is ‘looking into’ this video of an exploding iPhone 7 Plus

Is Apple about to have its own explosive battery debacle?

According to Mashable, 18-year-old Brianna Olivas posted this video of a smoking iPhone 7 Plus to Twitter. She bought the phone in January, and the day before the explosion, she reportedly went to the Sprint store because it wouldn’t turn on. But after running diagnostics, they determined it was fine. The phone worked normally until the next morning, when she said it “blew up” and “more smoke started coming out of the phone”.

Olivas told Gizmodo she charged the phone with an official Apple charger and that she never really had a problem with it before. It failed to switch on she reportedly took it to an Apple store where employees ran diagnostic tests but found no faults. When asked about the incident, an Apple spokesperson said Apple is “in touch with the customer and looking into it”. Naturally, we’re all thinking about Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung’s ill-fated phablet was recalled twice and then ultimately abandoned by the company. But here’s the thing: Don’t overreact. This iPhone 7 explosion could be a one-time incident, and not some widespread battery flaw for the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus.

Olivas said she has already given the phone to Apple, and the company provided her with a replacement device. We should know more in the coming days after Apple conducts its tests.
