    Just so you know, the iPhone is still a fireball waiting to happen. The latest in a series of combustive incidents had an iPhone being used as a source for music at a party.

    It then exploded, filling the room with smoke and firing the battery onto the floor. No one was hurt, luckily, but the vibe was totally harshed.

    Once again, I say: this is not the behavior of a well device. Sure, it’s only happening to one phone in a million, but when was the last time you heard about any other phone bursting into flames?
