The Iphone compared to the overall cell phone market share (not to mention the overall battery market) is measly at best.If 0 out of billions of every other cell phone don't explode, and even only 2 out of millions of Iphones explode, they're still doing infinitely worse than every other manufacturer.And besides, quit being such a fan boy, no matter how you slice it, the story is damn funny, even if it isn't a common occurrence. It's like when Bill Gates was demoing windows 98 and it BSODed on him. It's just funny.And you do realize that you're saying that since you, owning two or three out of 100s of millions of devices have never had a problem personally, everything they do must be good, you're making the same generalizations as everybody else on the board, just in the other direction.[/citation]
My friend has had several Nextel/Motorola phones explode on him.. Well, 2 exploded, the 3 just sort of melted down.. All 3 were the result of being dropped from very high onto concrete. My friend runs his own tree trimming business and in the last 10 years has dropped his phone at least 100 times, usually with no issue, but these 3 times were the end of these particular phones. No one was ever hurt, but the phones still exploded and whenever he got the phone replaced they all said it was probably the battery that did it. Just because you never heard about it doesnt mean it never happened. An iPhone dropped from that height would probably go nuclear though, but thats besides the point..
