"In one incident, wrote Macworld, a French teenager claimed to have hurt his eye after his girlfriend's iPhone made a hissing sound and then its glass touch-screen shattered.

A 47-year-old UK man said his daughter's iPhone also hissed and then exploded. And in the Netherlands, an iPhone left in a car reportedly caused a fire that burned the vehicle's seat."

Too bad for the French haters amongst us.

More . . .

"Apple iPhone 3GS smartphones have reportedly been exploding around Europe, in what Apple is calling isolated incidents. According to some news outlets, in at least one case Apple has offered to reimburse an owner, with the agreement that the terms and existence of the settlement were to remain confidential."
