BellBoy Steven Paul Jobs 1955-2011 Premium Member join:2001-02-20 Los Angeles, CA	BellBoy Premium Member 2014-Feb-4 6:33 pm [iPhone] So...a flametacular iPhone 5c, huh? »9to5mac.com/2014/02/03/1 ··· -pocket/ A report says now that she sat on the iPhone, cracking it and possibly causing an internal short that set off the battery. I'll be curious to see where the stock goes after the media freakazoids get ahold of it and start blaming Apple. The feeding frenzy will probably force Apple to come up with a free solid steel case to prevent kids from sitting on their iPhones...

Rupture the pack, and any of them can burn. Just happens this battery was in an iPhone. Could have been a Samsung, an HTC, or any other device...

A high-capacity, lightweight Li-Po battery, that just happened to catch fire... Frequently.
