Olivas started facing the problem the day before and also went to Apple store. The person at Apple store ran several tests and told her that the phone is fine and appeared working normally.

She has handed over the phone to Apple and the company is investigating the issue. She also confirmed that she has been using the Apple’s original charger to charge the phone since she bought the phone. So, it ruled out the possibility that a non-original product might be the reason behind this explosion.

This is not the first incident when an iPhone caught fire, but this recalls Samsung Galaxy Note 7 incident.
