Apple on Friday said it is "aware and looking into" the matter concerning battery problems that were reported on some units of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. It isn't clear if the issue has plagued a whole batch of iPhones -- like it was with the Galaxy Note 7 -- or just a handful of them. While the Taiwan incident happened while charging (from the bundled charger and cable), the iPhone 8 Plus buyer in Japan got a swollen iPhone 8 Plus out of the box. The battery capacity of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is also less than that on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus respectively. Though Apple has put most of the core hardware specific features of the iPhone X on the iPhone 8 models, the design remains nearly the same as what phones wear since four years now.
