The incident took the very next day after she visited Apple Care. She said her iPhone was charging in the morning next to her head. Her boyfriend kept it on the dresser. He was about to visit the restroom when saw the iPhone “steaming and heard a squealing noise.” He was quick to throw the phone into the restroom, where the phone blew up and iPhone started releasing smoke.
Apple is investigating the device and problem that may have caused the iPhone 7 to burst into flames. Olivia is in touch with Apple and they might come up with a conclusion in about a week’s time.
