Yes!! This is true.The new iPhone 7 exploded. This wednesday a user of Reddit posted a picture of his exploded iPhone on Reddit.
The world’s leading smartphone makers just can’t
stop copying each other. While the company has certainly improved its image
over the past few years, Samsung is likely most famous for being an Apple
copycat. After all, the company was sued repeatedly by Apple for stealing its
technology and designs. And as we all learned, things got so crazy at one point
that Samsung even created a 132-page internal document to help its engineers
copy the iPhone pixel by pixel. Of course, Apple is hardly innocent in all
this. The iPhone maker has aped plenty of features from Android in recent
years, and it probably never would have made iPhones with large displays if
Samsung hadn’t paved the way.
But now, things have gone way too far...
So what’s the latest feature Apple ripped off from
its top smartphone rival Samsung? Apparently, Apple was jealous that Samsung’s
exploding Galaxy Note 7 is stealing some of the iPhone 7’s airtime, so it built
an exploding smartphone of its own.
All joking aside — and before other sites catch
wind of this story and go crazy with it — this clearly appears to be an
isolated incident, at least for the time being.
The image above was posted by Reddit user
“kroopthesnoop” on Wednesday, and it shows a matte black iPhone 7 Plus that
certainly looks like it exploded. Unlike Samsung’s somewhat widespread Galaxy
Note 7 problem that was due to a battery defect, however, this iPhone exploded
while in transit, according to the phone’s owner. When he received the iPhone
he ordered and took it out of the box, this is what he found.
There are some more pictures of exploded iPhone:
Details are scarce for the time being. “Something
happened between the factory and delivery,” is all the phone’s owner had to say
in his thread on Reddit. Apple hasn’t commented publicly and neither has UPS,
but one or both companies will likely have to investigate the matter when the
phone’s owner contacts Apple for a replacement.
