Olivas told Gizmodo that the twenty-four hour period before the detonation , she went to the Sprint store ( where she had buy her headphone in January ) because it would n’t turn on . She explained the Sprint employee said her phone “ face weird when it turned on , ” but after guide diagnostics concluded everything was all right . It was n’t .

Olivas said that her telephone was working normally until the next morning when her boyfriend took her phone off the ( Apple ) charger and put it on her dresser . Then , in her own words(emphasis ours ):
I was asleep with my phone charging next to my head , my beau snap up the phone and put it on the vanity . He went to the public lavatory … and from the corner of his heart he saw my phone steaming and [ heard ] a squealing noise . By the meter he mystify over to the earpiece it had already caught flack , he quickly grab the phone and threw it in the restroom … as soon as he threw [ it ] in the convenience , it blew up and more smoke started come out of the telephone .
The teen say that Apple at once replaced her telephone , and is presently running tests to figure out exactly what go kaboom . An Apple representative told Gizmodo , “ We are in hint with the client and looking into it . ”
Olivas noted that the Apple Store Genius who examined her low telephone said he had “ never watch anything like this . ” But there might be some Apple execs tossing and turning tonight , drenched in effort , haunted by nightmares ofexploding Galaxy Note 7stransmogrifying into iPhones .

“ All of this has been causing me really bad anxiety , ” Olivas said . “ It ’s not severe , but my anxiety has never been this bad . My mother is involved and right now she ’s just worried about take me feel estimable . ”
While a electric battery burst can result from a faulty hangout orshady knockoff charger , Olivas told Gizmodo she always use her Apple charger and did n’t have any offspring with her earpiece until she contain it to the Sprint store on Tuesday . Since neither Apple nor the phone ’s owner have any idea why it burst into flames , it feels dishonest to speculate its causes .
2016 , with its exploding Galaxy 7s and untamed presidential election , was really just a trial run . It ’s 2017 , babe . The reality is even more forbidding than the hype . iPhones become turkey . One man’sderanged , literal - riddentweets are America ’s most pressingnational securitythreat , and could very well set off the next world war . Nothing feels safe or sure . Olivas said she expects to hear back from Apple about what made her earphone explode in about a calendar week ; hopefully answers will ameliorate our anxiousness just a little minute .
