According to the AFP news service, a teenager in France was injured after his girlfriend’s iPhone unexpectedly exploded. The incident came just weeks after reports of an iPod exploding in the UK.
According to the French teenager’s mother, his girlfriend’s iPhone started making a whistling sound before the screen cracked, sending pieces of the phone flying through the air.
– My son was scared, but at least he didn’t lose an eye, says the teenager’s mother, Marie-Dominique Kolega to AFP.
A couple of weeks ago, an 11-year-old girl suffered from her iPod exploding. Apple reportedly offered compensation to the girl and her father if they signed a non-disclosure agreement.
