I guess that iPhone had too much magic....

 

[The Greater Good]

It's a feature.

Allegedly. That word says it all. Still, L O L.

 

[mt2e]

Looks real to me

He was holding it wrong....

apple said: did you jailbreak it?
customer said: it is made in china?
PC user find the answer. is because apple is not safe.

 

[ricardok]

Seems fine to me, real..

Well if you don't have an iPhone, you probably still have leg hair...

That camera is a bit shaky to be mounted to the wall AND I love how this "happened" exactly when he got in the cameras field of view.

The photo is only of the screen portion of the iPhone (notice how you can see part of his hand through the hole where the home button would normally be). Why would he bother to rip the phone apart and take a picture of just part of it after the fact? Seems fishy to me...

It looks like someone has taken the CCTV footage with another camera, which would explain the shakiness. It could easily have happened at the camera, as the camera may be to watch over the parking spaces. But I agree with mgolus that you wouldn't take it apart...

You don't seem to understand that "allegedly" is the term used before a person or issue is proven guilty. Hence it "allegedly" caught fire on it's own.

CCTV footage is not shaky. They do not mount these things on air conditioners or building fans...

 

[Shin-san]

There's jokes about things made in China exploding

 

[tsnorquist]

Looks exactly like a Li-Ion battery being punctured. Wonder if he sat down on something in the Van which led to this?

 

[Guest]

Ive yet to see a CCTV camera that moves like this.....and normally it would be pointed more at the entrance than over some corner of the parking lot. His movements and mannerisms just look too put on....why was he walking into the middle of the parking anyway? im suspicious

 

[leo2kp]

Works as designed. What's the problem?

 

[Guest]

An iphone that rolls away and spins when you throw it on the ground? Uh...no.

 

[silver565]

Looks real enough to me. His reaction seemed pretty legit
