It seems the iPhone 4 has gone out of the frying pan into the fire! Yes, as if its signal reception troubles weren’t enough, a report has come in of an iPhone 4 that got fried when charged using a standard Apple USB cable, 30-pin dock connector, and a computer. The cable, the USB port, and the user’s hand (when he picked up the phone and touched the very hot metal bezel) were all burnt to varying degrees.
Survey✅ Thank you for completing the survey!
The reason for the conflagration was ascertained as a defective USB port on the phone, and not user error. AT&T promised to exchange the device for a new one. Let’s just hope that this is a one-off, and not something to do with the hardware design or components of the iPhone 4, otherwise even Apple wouldn’t be able to live this down.
