The NSA has a bunker just south of the Queensboro. No doubt, this is why you feel a tingle when in that area.
What??? Fire? Do you have pictures?
Yes I have photos and video
I'm working with Apple sr. Advisor and engineers on issue. They have all the photos and video. I understand the protocol but I don't feel comfortable posting that stuff as Apple is working on issue. Also as they've had time to review and give me some kind of resolution. I don't know WHY I have to wait and that it's the engineers call as to when or if I get a replacement. The phone was one day old. That's my frustration. But I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and have followed their protocol. I just want a working iPhone 5s that I paid for. I rely on it. As I said before, apple support have been very professional and nice. It's just the not knowing what's going on? I feel like they don't believe me or just can't believe the iPhone had burned. It was a small fire, but a fire nonetheless and scared the heck out of me. But, isolated incident it appears. I think they are really wanting to figure out why so it doesn't happen again. But in meantime, can I get a iPhone 5s just like the one I ordered??
I wanna believe I really do.
my husband got a facial burn from his iphone 5 - left a scar. Apple says there is nothing wrong with the phone - we lied... We are calling a lawyer. Anyone else have the same problems???
Well, the first thing you need to do is make up your mind.
We're sorry, your body is too weak to handle electronics.

Do you know if there are any metal detectors or some kind of other scanning equipment in use there?
The building where I work takes security issues seriously because of the work we do, and they have magnetic scanners at the security checkpoint for the entrance. If I hold my 5s in my hand while going through that checkpoint, it will vibrate at a low, strong, noticeable rate. It's been known for a long time among my co-workers and the security folks that if you have a Blackberry or other device with magnets in it, they will react with the scanner and vibrate. It's not harmful to the device, or you. It's not been an issue noticed for iPhone users, up until the 5s came out though.
There might be something with a component in the 5s (the M7 chip? different compass module?) that has a stronger magnetic field than previous versions, causing this. Again, it seems to be harmless so far.
The charging/burning thing though, I've not experienced at all. You should probably get that checked out.

I read an article that Apple products was shocking people so bad that it killed a woman and another man got shocked by an iPad and it flew him across the room! :|

I'll probably take it to the Apple store in a few days - but I am wondering if anyone else is going through this.
I use my phone in bed and when it's charging I get a burning sensation if any metal part of the phone touches my skin. This occurs whether I am using the charge port on my Microsoft Surface, Macbook Air or the included wall charger. It's my first phone with the new charger, and I am only using official Apple cables.
Also, occasionally when passing past certain areas, (59th street bridge especially for some odd reason) if I have the phone in my hand - I'll feel like the phone has electricity (or static) moving across the body. This is just holding the phone in hand - not charging it.
It's weird; anyone else seen this issue? I don't want to keep the phone because I'm afraid it'll explode or something, but am afraid that I won't be able to convince an Apple tech to replace it. FWIW, the phone is in absolutely mint condition, so I could just return it if anything.
Fun fact: that doesn't actually happen.![]()
