Samsung knows how it is to have a flagship smartphone with a bad battery and design, but it looks like Apple might find out that soon. With less than a week after its official launch, first potentially serious issues with the new iPhones have surfaced online.
According to a new report from Taiwan, a woman surnamed Wu purchased the Apple iPhone 8 Plus and have it lasted only a few days before it exploded while charging. Battery destroyed the shell and pushed out the screen.
Apple is already taking a closer look at the phone to find out what happened. What makes this more interesting is that the battery maker is the same as the one that provided batteries for Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Since the maker was unable to guarantee the safety of the cells in a way that satisfied Samsung, ATL was dropped as a supplier.
