Apple’s investigation into a series of iPhone fires in China has uncovered “no cause for concern,” with the company blaming physical damage to the devices, the BBC reports.
Eight users filed complaints with Shanghai’s consumer protection agency, claiming their phones spontaneously caught fire or exploded.
The report quoted one woman who said her iPhone 6s Plus exploded in August, “shattering the screen and leaving the battery and back of the phone blackened.” Apple has recently offered battery replacements for some users whose phones are experiencing sudden shutdowns, but has offered assurances that the problem isn’t a safety issue and blamed the fires reported in China on external physical damage “which led to the thermal event.”
