An iPhone on a plane was in flames linking Lismore to Sydney on November 25. The smartphone, which was probably "overheated" during the flight, began to clear smoke described as "dense" by the airline Regional Express in a statement, when the owner receives it at the landing.
Worried, the crew rushed to trigger the emergency procedures in case of fire. A small explosion broke the shell of the phone, but no passengers were injured.
The incident was reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The purpose was also retained for further consideration.
Twelve similar cases in France in 2009

This is reminiscent of many implosions iPhone in 2009. Twelve cases were then identified through France, and at least one observed in Belgium.
Apple was so advanced that it was not overheating the battery, but external pressures and weakening of the device.
