Apple iPhones Exploding? Chinese Users Complain To Shanghai Consumer Council

Apple claimed on its Chinese website Friday its iPhones would shut down rather than explode, to protect hardware from damage due to low voltages. On Tuesday, a Chinese consumer watchdog refuted the claim, saying it had received complaints of iPhones exploding and catching fire.

Shanghai Consumer Council called on Apple to address the complaints: “Apple should be responsible for consumers. A lot of consumer complaints are not solved effectively.”
