During the phone call, Suwicha felt heat and saw smoke erupting from his 32GB, black device. He threw it immediately to the floor. He said that the phone then exploded four times like a firecracker, forming a sizable burn mark on its “Home” button.

Suwicha told MCOT.net that he bought the latest Apple phone only two months ago, but that he had decided to refrain from using the company’s products after this explosion.
