Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard about the alleged explosions of a few iPhones in Europe. A new report has surfaced that has the European Commission asking Apple for information on the alleged iPhone explosions.
The European commission went so far as to warn Apple that if the phone is dangerous to the health of users that it would ban the iPhone from the European market. Exploding electronics are nothing new, a number of laptops have burst into flames after batteries overheated.
Apple has not yet officially responded to the allegations of exploding iPhones and the EC is investigating the issue. Perhaps Apple will step up research in an effort to prevent the popular device from being banned in Europe.

Must be a slow news day? Mis-information like this might be more credible if it included a link to something factual — anyone can make up a story, or regurgitate something that circulated months back.

To get back on topic, his all thing is a huge misunderstanding brought to you by the press in Europe. I guess that’s the price to pay to have a product like the iPhone, all buzz and stuff….

Sorry about that guys, I neglected to add the source links to the story. It is fixed now. As for the veracity of the story, until we get more info on the alleged explosions they are as likely to be accurate as they are incorrect.
