In her statement to 9to5Mac on Saturday, the teenager said “I was sitting down, and I had my phone in my hand and then I saw sparks flying everywhere and I just threw it on a blanket. I was right here on the bed and the phone managed to burn through this blanket and make these holes.” The teenager said she used her iPhone 6 to watch YouTube videos and occasionally lets her younger siblings play games on it.

Immediately after the incident the mother of the teenager Maria Adata called Apple for support. The Apple support instructed them to send them the pictures of the burned device and asked her to ship the device to the retailer.

Although the Company has not commented on the incident, however, it is reported that Apple will provide the family with a new phone and ensured the family that it will investigate the cause of the explosion.

According to another report Maria Adata said “This was my child. My child could have been caught on fire and she could have been hurt more and I am glad she’s ok,”

According to the iPhone manufacturer, there may be various reasons why the iPhone caught fire, they doubted that the users could have been using an unauthorized charging cable and chargers to charge the device.
