A Nigerian woman recently took to social media to recount a terrifying experience—her iPhone exploded while it was plugged in and charging, leaving the device completely destroyed.
In a video posted online, she showed the burnt and shattered remains of the phone, explaining that the explosion happened without any warning. The incident has sparked conversations about smartphone safety, particularly during charging.
According to the woman, there were no prior signs that the phone was malfunctioning. The sudden explosion not only ruined the device but also presented a serious safety hazard.
Social media users weighed in with various theories. One person speculated that a cheap, fast-charging cable might be to blame, saying:
"There’s this all-white charger that goes for around ₦7,000. It charges quickly, but I’ve seen it damage iPhones before."
Others took a more humorous approach, with one comment reading:
"Maybe your phone just decided to self-destruct!"
However, some shared their own alarming experiences. One user wrote:
"This almost happened to me last Sunday. I got an electric shock while charging my phone, and my hand was swollen the next day. Thank God for Golden Cross Hospital."
Another commenter suggested the phone may have had internal issues from previous repairs:
"The device looked worn out. Maybe it had been tampered with or rewired. Honestly, it seemed ready to give out."
As of now, Apple has not released an official statement regarding the incident. Nonetheless, tech experts frequently caution users against using uncertified chargers, advise avoiding prolonged charging—especially overnight—and recommend keeping phones away from flammable surfaces while charging.
Safety Tip: Always use certified accessories and monitor your device while it charges to help prevent potential hazards.
