Really? Apple looks to use Japanese made batteries if I am not mistaken? Most use Chinese.

Yes, driving accidents can happen, usually due to user error, not manufacturing error.
Are you trying to claim these "very annoying" battery expanding incidents are due to user error? Charging it wrong?
Just 5 phones and most importantly they didn’t burst into flame like those Note disaster.Finally! An end to all the anti-Note 7 battery BS here...there is finally an iPhone 8 battery screw-up. Waiting for apologies from those bashing the Note 7 for it's battery issues in 3...2...1...crickets.
Hopefully by next week, the iPhone 8 will be banned from commercial airlines.
It also references Thailand as well. Not sure where the actual manufacturing takes placeReally? Apple looks to use Japanese made batteries if I am not mistaken? Most use Chinese.
Agreed, I'm very interested in this. Usually where the stuff comes from can say lot about quality, wish they just had a Made in XXXXX. lol.
EXCEPT..In regards to Samsung they were 'asleep' at the wheel. They were ignorant in terms of the problem and how bad it was, instead complaining in video about how much it would cost them. They also had 2 chances to fix it and failed. They now have released it a 3rd time. Here his hopping that 3rd time's the charm.
In regards to Apple it is only 5 units, not hundreds (Samsung Note 7).
How Apple handles it is key, however I think they will handle it a lot better than Samsung
You do realize a swollen lithium battery has an increased risk of exploding, right?
Lawyers have a problem with anything. If there was money to be made from suing the Wind they would do.
It does not therefore mean that the case has merit, just that the Lawyers think so.
There have bene cases in the US where a person goes to a dinner party hosted by their friend who fails to serve non alcoholic drinks. The guest then sues their friend because they were then forced to drink and drive.
So trust me, Lawyers often serve the cases that serve them, not justice or the truth

Th only thing going Tick Tock is your brain so don't over think.

Much like people such as you tried to do with the Note 7 farce.
You are reaching there a bit, stop thinking because I can see steam coming out of your ears lol
I expect even more, considering the amount of Apple hate around here.
Anyway, these issues aren't even close to similar. Let's wait to hear about spontaneous combustion and an airline ban of the iPhone 8 before really start. And by the way, Samsung didn't get enough vitriol as it was.
It says that any phone you can think of a few cases of swollen batteries. But I guess I shouldn't expect basic reading comprehension from someone
I think you posted on the wrong thread.
Either you only knew about Apple recently or you never used Apple products.
Product problems have existed with Apple as old as the G4 cube. Yes, that’s under Steve Jobs. Product problems happen to any companies since products are designed and made by humans.
And Apple already had battery replacement programs for iPhones a few times, for the 5 and 6S.
Many are anxiously awaiting the investigation conclusion.

Take off your apologist shades so you can see "assembled in China" "Huapu Technology (Changshu) Inc".

I'm low on vitriol at the moment, politicians and other ne'er do wells are sopping it all up, so Apple gets a pass.
Plus, I think technology early adopters are fools, I'm still not sold on the wheel yet.
The government won't be involved simply because there is no reason. As the article itself states, any product produced in millions of items will experience some defect. If you search online for Any Smartphone Model Name + swollen batteries you will find posts about some purchaser of that model that experienced a swollen battery. Therefore, by your logic, the government should intervene any time a new smartphone model of any brand hits the market. Something that obviously doesn't happen. Laws obviously take into account and discern between marginal inevitable issues and widespread and dangerous ones. If for every 10 millions of iPhones sold 10 have a swollen battery and no one take fire, they won't ban it.
Wait wait wait. Because your MBP battery expanded, of which they sold millions of, acknowledged the possibility of battery expansion if you exceed x charge cycles, and yet still was never an international crisis, this may be a massive issue? I'd say history is not on your side, and your anecdotal evidence is making the opposite argument you think it is.
So does an airbag that would spew metal fragments into the driver.
11 people have died from Takata airbags deploying yet millions are still driving cars with them installed and the issue not addressed.
I think the data behind the Source of the battery, Lot numbers, date of manufacturing and build of the iphone would be interesting to know. As well as the chargers and cables used.
Honestly I have am not worried about mine exploding or expanding.
If the build dates of these phones are close to one another and I have it the then perhaps I would surely become a little more concerned.
I am sure there will be more events to some unfortunate folks while others will call for pitchforks and torches.
To be honest I am living in a house that uses natural gas. I am more afraid of this place being blown off its foundation than the battery in my pocket.
