Another French iPhone goes pop
What is it about the south of France that makes iPhones self-destruct ? For the second time in a month, a resident of the French Mediterranean region is claiming that an Apple phone blew up in his hands.
The other day, Romain Kolega, an 18-year-old from Aix-en-Provence, said he had been injured when his girlfriend's iPhone went 'crackle and pop like a deep-fryer' and sent shards of screen into his face.
Today, Yassine Bouhadi, a 26-year-old security guard at a supermarket at Villevieille, near Nîmes, reported that his iPhone made a noise like a mirror shattering. "I was texting my girl friend like I do every day when the phone made a noise like 'schplok'. A little bit of screen hit me in the eye and I had to remove it with a tweezer," said Bouhadi.
