In a bizarre accident, a man in New South Wales received severe burns when his Apple iPhone 6 exploded in his back pocket while he was mountain biking, media reported on Tuesday. Gareth Clear, 36, from Bondi in Australia was riding around Manly Dam in New South Wales on Sunday when he fell off his bike, landing on his iPhone 6. Meanwhile, Clear said Apple told him they would investigate the incident. The burn was so severe that he had to undergo skin graft surgery. After the explosion, the base of the phone looks like “something from a chemical explosion and the top remains perfectly intact”, he said.
