Co Workers iPhone 4 blew up today...

[TexasRangerFan]

Quick update -

He called Apple and after about 30 minutes on the phone they agreed to send him a new iPhone 4S. He said alot of the questions they asked were about whether or not the phone was plugged in at the time of the incident.

Anyway, Apple seems to have taken care of him, so he is happy.

BTW, I asked, the phone was bought new, had no repairs, and was not jailbroken. He had only been using factory chargers as well.

Are they requesting return of your coworker's exploded iPhone? What part of Apple exactly did he call? AppleCare?

 

[TexasRangerFan]

No they don't want it back. He actually went to the ATT store and they called Apple for him. So i'm not sure what department it was. He did not have AppleCare though.

Look on the bright side, at least it's not scuffed.

It's the secret mechanism Steve insisted on putting into every iPhone to signal the owner when it's time for an upgrade.

I wonder if the OP's friend's name is Ethan Hunt.

Actually, he's Ethan's lesser well known cousin Mike.

Yeah, have you seen Mike? I think he was with Richard Snot.

He dropped it on the concrete and the glass didn't shatter?!?!?!?!?!

The heat pouring out of it made it lighter, so it didn't hit the concrete very hard.
