I somehow doubt the charging logic can do much about the situation when the battery is punctured and explodes
The "battery exploded because it was punctured" is a thing made up by Apple apologists, rather it seems more likely that the battery was punctured by exploding. Typical Apple to dodge responsibility for its mistakes, remember "you're holding it wrong?" Except this time, Apple runs the risk of killing people. In fact, people have actually died using Apple products. When Apple sends its astroturfers out to social networking sites to lie about punctured batteries it shows what Apple really is, a cult that will stop at nothing to hide its mistakes.
If you are trying to be rigorous then you will italicize all of those when written in English prose. Some foreign words do actually become part of the language, like brunette, then don't italicize. Some are clearly not english, like bon vivant, so capitalize if you are trying to be rigorous. And others, like chic, are in transition. Language is not perfectly rigorous, rather it is a fluid, evolving thing.
Plural in Latin, singular mass noun in English, does it need to be any more complicated? Strictly speaking, if you mean to write the latin word in English prose then you should italicize it.
The reason this made news is because it's so uncommon.
Read the comments, including the comments on the linked article. It's not uncommon. If these were cars blowing up then there would be $billions of product liability suits. When this happened to Samsung they fixed it. But this is Apple.
Li-ion cannot absorb overcharge. When fully charged, the charge current must be cut off...
Right, and that is the responsibility of the charging logic, not the user. Notice that the article did not say "must be cut off by the user".
And no I hate Apple as much as the next guy but battery safety, especially when technology that's known to swell/explode/flame when mishandled is more important than a grudge. Please keep blame where it needs to reside.
Yes, lets. I there are issues with charge cut-off then the blame belongs with the charging logic. It's not like this is a $5 charger from Radio Shack, it has its own full blown computer. It's supposed to know how to do this right. Everybody knows that li-ion batteries can be dangerous. Gasoline is far more dangerous. How often does somebody blow themselves up pumping gas these days?
What utter bullshit. It is the fault of Apple's engineering, that can't safely trickle charge a li-ion battery. I have lots of devices permanently sitting on chargers, everybody does. But don't do that with Apple products unless your fire insurance is all paid up. According to you.
but the knowledge of how to keep a battery stored really matters and isn't very common knowledge. Any device with a lithium-ion battery of any kind should not be left on the charger for extended periods, like days or more. If you plan on not using the device, unplug and turn it off. The protection chip on the battery will prevent overcharging but it's a precarious situation that might cause overheating, swelling and explosions potentially the longer it's left charging.
And you overlooked the idiotic comment blaming the iPad explosion on leaving it plugged in.
While you may be lucky enough to not have your Apple products explode yet, others are not so lucky. Excuse me, but it doesn't take much googling to get the picture that Apple ships more explosive products than Samsung. Samsung took the issue seriously and fixed it. Not this endless denial and whataboutism that we have learned to expect from Apple.
Karma. Remember all the Apple fanboys gloating about Note 7 battery issues? Cue payback. I am not a Samsung fanboy by any means, but that performance by Apple folks was just plain galling. Samsung responded to the issue quickly and fairly, let's see what Apple does. (I'm not expecting much.)
Oh, and there were persistent reports of Apple products catching fire, even electrocuting people throughout that same period. Apple just makes me ill.
Wow, Apple employees with mod points are swarming that one. How to earn karma.
Apple employees at work again, how are they different from scientologists?
Apple employees: if you can't stand critical comments then fix your products. If you don't like being regarded as Scientologists then quit astroturfing social networking sites.
Right now you have some damage control to do, but instead of doing it, you are just creating more damage. This is your one button mind at work, right?
Wow, there are so many reports of Apple products exploding, how about this one. If Apple was an auto company there would be multiple class action suits already. Why do they get a pass?
Message to Apple employees: Do you understand that these posts you downmod remain on the internet to document your disgusting corporate culture? Fix your products.
Apple employees secured the iPad and punctured battery in a container of sand after it exploded.
So, a quick thinking genius ran down to the canal and quickly scooped up a bucket of sand? No, this is the standard bucket of sand you always keep on hand because you are surround by Apple products.
Wow, this is really organized. Apple employees going sent out to all the social networking sites to spin and downmod. Hey guys, fix your products instead. Do you think that nobody notices you doing this?
More Apple Scientology downmod tactics. What a disgusting company. Fix your products. There are so many reports of Apple products exploding. Here is another one.
Snip: "I am a very loyal Apple customer with an outrageous number of products so this news is devastating. I can’t afford to repair it and my work depends on me using my laptop so I am not sure what to do at the moment. There must be other people out there that have experienced their Apple products battery swelling/expanding/exploding."
It would not be surprising at all if this post disappears from Apple's site shortly.

We all know exactly what apple will do. Blame everyone else except themselves and their product. And the mindless apple police will be on here and other sites telling us how great apple is for doing so.
And they will send out their astroturf squad just like Scientologists to mod down criticism on social networking sites. Why we hate Apple.
Karma. Remember all the Apple fanboys gloating about Note 7 battery issues? Cue payback. I am not a Samsung fanboy by any means, but that performance by Apple folks was just plain galling. Samsung responded to the issue quickly and fairly, let's see what Apple does. (I'm not expecting much.)

DESPITE the fact that TFS specifically mentioned that the battery was PUNCTURED
Punctured by the explosion you lying Apple sack of shit. Said it before, you are a great ambassador for thug gang Apple.

And you overlooked the "in summer" from the "idiotic comment".
I will grant you that: don't buy an Apple product if you plan to use it in summer. But are you certain the other months are safe?
This is technically your fault
What utter bullshit. It is the fault of Apple's engineering, that can't safely trickle charge a li-ion battery. I have lots of devices permanently sitting on chargers, everybody does. But don't do that with Apple products unless your fire insurance is all paid up. According to you.

That is true if you buy from Apple, apparently.

Your link doesn't say anything like you just claimed. Are you an Apple employee?
Proceed as soon as possible in an Apple Store...
And return your product. Then buy from a company that takes safety more seriously.
I didn't hear about the first two. Sounds like Apple fans need to rethink their tired Samsung Note 7 jokes.
And given that iPhones in people's homes vastly outnumber iPhones in stores, how big is this problem, really?
How many have caught fire over the years? Ten, twenty?
I know, with plenty of customers you can afford to ignite a few right? What do you imagine would happen if this many Jeeps exploded? Exploding iPhone causes third degree burns on teen's body

You're breathing it wrong.
There ya go, that's the Apple spirit we have come to know, now go straight up to Tim Cook's office so he can stick a gold star on your forehead.
Remember Apple fanboys laughing at the Samsung exploding battery fiasco. Poor Apple Fanboys.
I do, and I remember Apple thugs downmodding my critical comment just like yours. Why we hate Apple, right?
