Swollen batteries on iPhone 8

[KleinBoontjie]

Seems like no-one wants to talk about it.....well, if you can dish it you can take it (Apologies if there is already a thread for this, though I can't seem to find one here)

Apple has confirmed it is investigating a handful of reports of iPhone 8 batteries that swell and separate the device’s case, according to multiple reports.

The swelling battery phenomenon has been surfacing since late September.

CNet recently rounded up reports of the issue, finding fewer than 10 cases spread across Japan, Greece, Canada, China, and Taiwan. Photos shared on social media have shown the phone’s screens pushed away from their bodies. Some are of phones that have been used, while others show apparently new phones cracked open in their boxes.

According to Apple blog 9to5Mac, the owner claimed that her 64GB Gold iPhone 8 Plus had split three minutes into being charged with the cable and plug adapter supplied with the device.

So Samsung isn't the only one...wait for the fire :crylaugh:

"Apple has been tight-lipped in its response about the “swelling” batteries, saying only that it is looking into the issue, without providing further details. A battery industry analyst speaking to The Verge, however, suspects that Apple executives are “in crisis mode” as they scramble to make sure the isolated reports don’t point to a larger issue."
