In 2016, the battery spontaneous combustion event of Samsung Note7 spread all over the world. In 2018, it is Apple's turn to be shrouded in the shadow of battery explosion. At the end of last year, Apple finally compensated for the low price battery replacement service. A large number of iPhones had multiple explosions when replacing batteries. At the beginning of the year, Apple retail stores in Zurich, Switzerland and Spain witnessed a series of iPhone battery explosions.

Men bite battery

Battery explosion

On January 21, another frightening video of iPhone battery explosion came out on the Internet. The video was taken by a surveillance camera in an electronic maintenance store. After the man in the video asked for the battery with his teeth, the battery exploded into a fireball. The man who bit the battery swung quickly, which should not be a big problem, but the woman who took his battery suffered the explosion in the front.

The low-quality lithium battery may catch fire and smoke when it is squeezed or bent, while the explosion in the video is extremely rare. However, it is recommended that you take safety measures when passing the iPhone repair shop or replacing the battery yourself.

Some conspiracy theories even said that Apple knew that the batteries of some old iPhones had potential safety hazards, so it used forced frequency reduction. Later, the frequency reduction gate was exposed, and Apple could only reduce the risk by replacing the batteries at a low price. However, Apple also said that it would provide the switch of whether to reduce the frequency in the system update later, which is difficult to establish the conspiracy theory.
