Fire!!!! -Myles Bennett

A man reported that his iPhone 5C caught fire in his pocket. He says he leaned over to pick up his keys at a party and could feel the burning sensation down his legs. The only way to escape the fire after the heat melted the pocket closed was to take off his pants. People also could smell his skin burning from the phone.

Analysis: Apple is a booming company. They have a lot of orders every day that cannot be filled without the help of many workers and (thanks to Henry Ford) the assembly line. With this new invention, many more products were made and production was more efficient. After the assembly line was introduced to big businesses, it was easier to mass produce daily necessities and incorporate the same products into every household (like the iPhones)

  1. That's so weird! I wonder if Apple will fix that problem so it won't happen to any new phones

  2. I'm curious to see what exactly caused the phone to set fire. Apple is known for dealing with issues well. If this continues to happen I'm sure Apple will make an announcement.

  3. This is so strange. Companies such as Apple have largely supplemented the tech industry. As corporations continue to create new forms of technology- at such a rapid pace- we are reminded of how advanced society is compared to how it once was. Hopefully this issue will quickly be resolved.

  4. That's so unusual. I've never heard of a phone randomly catching fire. I trust that Apple, being the reputable company it is, will solve the issue.
