Apple Blames 'External Forces' For Exploding iPhones

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday August 31, 2009 @03:10AM from the don't-keep-it-in-your-pocket dept.

Shome writes "Apple has stated that there is no evidence that recent iPhone explosions reported by users are connected to overheating of batteries. It may be stated that French consumer affairs authorities have started their own investigation on the reported explosions, some of which have caused minor injuries to the users, and are studying the phone's safety features. The Inquirer runs a piece that blames Apple for blaming its customers. 'This mysterious force is not God, or a rival religion, nor does it require any metaphysics to understand. An "external force" is just Apple's term for the black shirted people who believe that everything that Apple makes is wonderful. It is what other companies call their "customers," writes Nick Farrell.'"

Thanks for spreading more FUD and making a 3rd party vendor's firmware issues look like Apple's fault...
Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt your feelings? There there, Mummy won't let the baddie customers say nasty things about your pet apple any more.
