An ex-Volvo engineer in Sweden who recently tried to change the battery on his iPhone got a shock and lost a tooth after the popular Apple smartphone exploded and caught fire.
Hans Wellgren, a retired Volvo engineering analyst from Gothenburg, was gobsmacked when a recent attempt to fix his phone failed spectacularly.
“It exploded, just like a flare, and filled the car with toxic smoke," the 74-year-old told The Local.
"I couldn’t see anything and knocked my tooth out while throwing the damn thing out the window!”
Wallgren has spent his life trying to make products safer and was shocked that the iPhone did not have a warning explaining the danger of removing the battery.
“It was scary but it would’ve been worse if it had happened in my house. The whole place could have burnt down,” he said. Full story...
