Boy Genius Report revealed some shocking pics yesterday. It is an image of a burnt iPhone. The brand new iPhone4 caught fire for no reason. It was just hooked to a computer via Apple USB cable that accompanied the device. BGR confirmed it from an Apple store that it was not the user’s fault but the defective USB port that has to be blamed. According to BGR “phone bezel was extremely hot (obviously), and it slightly burned the customers hand. The USB port in the phone was slightly melted and the cord was badly melted (as is apparent in the pictures).” There have been incidents about burning iPhone 3G and iPods in past too.
Let us see what Apple has to say about this. Perhaps they’ll advice to change the computer and use a Mac.
