Apple Investigating Battery Incident at Amsterdam Store, No Customers or Employees Required Medical Attention

Anyone would automatically pair this to Samsung, but separate incidences..

Still ,it happens. QA testing gone down... Think there is a decrease for sure. There's defiantly more problems across the board.

Did you read the article?

from article - Our understanding, based on an anonymous but corroborated tip, is that a damaged iPad was sitting on a shelf in a back room, in a queue of devices to be repaired by Genius Bar technicians

A defective iPad brought in for service. Hmm could have been damaged any number of ways.

No joke, I was just at this store not even an hour prior because my phone was on like 5% and I needed to charge it up

iPads are never repaired, only replaced. (In store)
I guarantee it was not in any “repair queue”.
If anything it was in a shipping box in the warehouse.
Also these thermal events from batteries are almost always 3rd party batteries installed by unauthorized service providers.

All PR is good P...nevermind.

Just wow. Talk about the litigious-ation and wussification of the world... Back in the day, if we found a leaking battery, we'd remove it and toss it in the trash can (which used to be metal and non-flammable). Look at how far we've come! (not)

The type of litigious action that you mention is a thing of the US. In Europe we don’t do such thing as demanding money for “emotional distress from the situation” and ridiculous stuff like that.

Was totally thinking that it was ready to go for depo.

Lithium batteries are inherently dangerous. Frankly I’m pretty impressed with how few incidents Apple has had.

Exactly. My EUC caught fire in the middle of the night the other day because the manufacturer failed to waterproof it.
