Resolved Inflated iPhone battery

[GeoStructural]

Here is an inflated iPhone battery. Honestly, I have never seen a badly damage iPhone battery before. I suffered from very poor battery life with my iPhone 5, 5S and X. iPhone 11 Pro has been amazing so far.

I did see this happen to an iPad, the battery even bent the aluminum casing.

Pretty scary when you realize that has been held against your face, don't you think?

Absolutely, in these cases they are known to explode, they can burn your skin by releasing acids as well as the flame.

Looks like a bag of popcorn...

... won’t taste like one though!

How old is the phone/ battery?

Probably about 2 years.

I have had three iPhone 5's replaced because of swelling batteries. It is the only model I own so far that seems to be affected by this. Currently, I'm waiting until I have enough money to replace another iPhone 5 for the same thing.

It's telling that Apple sends units with swelling batteries to a special facility for disposal of the battery. They do NOT do this in-store.

Once I opened a MacBook that has inflated battery so much that the only things held the bottom cover in place we’re the screws.

I unscrewed one and it shot in my face from the tension, almost blinded me. Early days of my job. 😵😀

It’s not the first swollen battery I’ve encountered but still quite the sight. Thanks for sharing!
