Iphone 8 Plus Burst While Charging

 Last year Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 line of device was called off the market due to a fault in the battery which made the device to over heat and explode when it was being charged. Apple also had a couple of devices that exploded too, though just a fraction of the unit sold.

 Not too long ago, Apple recently launched the iPhone 8, 8 plus and X but news coming from Taiwan says an iPhone plus user reported that her iPhone 8 plus 64GB burst into flames while it was being charged.

 According to cnbeta, the woman who simply identified herself as Miss Wu said that she hurriedly pulled out the charger from her iPhone when she noticed that the battery was inflating and feared that it might explode. The inflated battery pushed out the screen of the iPhone 8 Plus.

Reports says Miss Wu is just a regular and not a heavy phone user. All she does is Facebook, watch movies and a few times played games. Miss Wu who used the original charger that came with the iPhone has had her iPhone replaced by Apple who are also investigating the cause.

Apple could be looking at a dangerous situation that might place it in the same line as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The company that manufactures battery for Apple is called ATL, the same company that provided the exploding batteries for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Well, Samsung eventually dropped ATL as a supplier.

 According to KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo new investor note, shipments of the iPhone X units per day have increased lying between 440,000 to 550,000. The increase is huge from the 50,00 to 100,000 units that were shipped per day within the last months.

 Kuo went on to explain in the note that the increased production in the iPhone devices wasn't due to low demands as suggested by many, but due to improved production and high demands.

Kuo says that Q4 2017 shipments could be "10 - 20 percent higher than previously estimated." This means that the increased production of the device would cover up orders in Q4 2017, orders that were meant to be fulfilled in Q1 2018.

 Due to the sudden change in production, Kuo expects "flat/slightly lower" iPhone X shipments in Q1 2018 compared to Q4 2017.
