A French teenager has been injured by his girlfriend's exploding iPhone, =
little more than a week after Apple was accused of trying to suppress =
news of an exploding iPod Touch.
According to the AFP, Marie-Dominique Kolega contacted Apple after her =
son was hit by a flying piece of Jobsian status symbol. Apparently, the =
iPhone made a hissing noise before the screen shattered, sending shards =
through the air. "My son was frightened but he did not lose an eye," =
Kolega told AFP.
Earlier this month, Liverpudlian Ken Stanborough told The Times of =
London that after he contacted Apple about his daughter's exploding iPod =
Touch - which made its own hissing sound before rocketing ten feet in =
the air - the company said it would refund the price of the device if =
Stanborough and daughter signed a confidentiality agreement banning them =
from publicly discussing the incident.
Meanwhile, a recent investigation from the a Seattle TV station found =
that at least 15 people have complained of fire- and burn-related iPod =
incidents. This info was culled from an 800-page Consumer Product Safety =
Commission document, and according to the TV station, Apple lawyers =
tried to suppress that too. =C2=AE
