iPhone 4 goes into 'self combustion' mode on a flight

29 November, 2011
Ends up producing copious amounts of black smoke and glows red without causing any physical harm to anyone.

              It's ONE occurance, when all iPhones start doing this randomly then it'll be a worry. All apple need to do is give out free batteries if a bad batch is detected, only problem is the user cannot change the battery themselves. Shame on you apple for such a basic design flaw.

                        But the phone in question isn't a standard iPhone it has been altered by the owner.

                        The logo on the back of the phone is the Apple/Steve Jobs logo and not the standard Apple logo.

                        So the owner has had a custom back plate fitted, so I don't think you can blame the phone for this as they may have screwed something up.

                          that is why I greatly prefer user replaceable batteries. One can inspect them to if they are OEM or just cheap C&^$#$e garbage. It also allows one to carry extra batteries as supposed to some third party external power solution. xman

                                        Have had many iPhones. Used them on many trips, left on, and never had a problem this could have been caused by anything from bad luck to a bad battery to misuse by the user.

                                        Means nothing to me.
