The images posted by the user shows the deformed box inside which the iPhone 7 is claimed to have exploded. So basically, when this user received his delivery of the iPhone, he found it in the burnt state. “Something happened between the factory and delivery,” is all the phone’s owner had to say. the Apple iPhone 7 explosion is an isolated incident and the exact causes are yet unknown. Apple's battery is a lithium ion battery, much like the one that caused Samsung's units to explode. The only evident difference is that Samsung's batteries packed in more power. Nevertheless, plenty of online users still reasoned this out for the iPhone 7 Plus explosion.
