An iPhone 4 caught fire inside a plane that began the landing procedure and now I return with information about another iPhone that has just suffered the same fate. In the picture above we could see the device that apparently caught fire while was on loading on the table of an user. He says it is only at a few inches of the device when it began to pull smoke and then flames out, while it was connected to the computer.

In the morning, I woke up seconds before witnessed the burning of my iPhone when I saw a lot of sparks and black smoke out of the cell. My room was impregnated with an unbearable smell smoke! That moment, turned off the power switch in the room to remove the cell the outlet.

The fault seems to be battery of device which apparently had been lit probably due to a manufacturing defect. Unfortunately this is the second incident occurred just at a few days away from the plane at an Australian company. Incidents like this are rare but when it happens drag all the attention because the world does not expect that a premium device to take fire out of nothing. If you happen, immediately ventilate the room where you are, because the smoke out of terminal is toxic and is recommended that to not inhale.

An iPhone 4 survived to a fall from over 4000 meters, after it felt from the pocket of a paratrooper, informs CNN. Although the display behind glass and fourth generation of the iPhone looks great is well known that this design is also very fragile. It seems both fragile but not as we were all tempted to believe.

During a recent parachute jump, Jarrod McKinney forgot to close the pocket, so his iPhone felt from his pocket, at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Once landed, the man used a GPS application in order to locate the device and there was little surprise when he found that it still works. The phone, which collapsed the roof of a two-storey buildings have indeed broken glass, but still vibrant and able to receive calls.

We doubt that there are many phones that could survive from such a height, therefore is even more impressive as the phone in question is the iPhone 4. The device has faced numerous problems since it was announced, one of the most serious being the loss of signal when the phone was kept in its lateral parts. The problem came apparently from the metal strips that works as a side dish for the device.
