An Apple smartphone user has captured her iPhone 7 Plus catching fire but the cause is still unknown.<\/b>
An Apple iPhone 7 user has caught her device catching fire on a video posted to Twitter.
The video shows an iPhone 7 Plus in a pink case sitting on a bathroom basin billowing smoke while the user’s boyfriend films with his phone.
Brianna Olivas of Tucson, Arizona, said she’d been having problems turning the device on after owning it for a month, according to Mashable. After Apple Store employees tested it, they told her it was fine.
An Apple representative told CNET: \u00ab\u00a0We are in touch with the customer and looking into it. \u00a0\u00bb
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 was withdrawn from the market after dozens of units caught fire worldwide. It was later determined two separate battery flaws were to blame. Reports of combustible iPhone batteries have been more isolated, but they do happen. In October, an iPhone 7 fire in Australia reportedly destroyed a user’s car, while an iPhone 6 Plus flamed out in New Jersey. Apple has previously blamed reported iPhone fires in China, meanwhile, on \u00a0\u00bb external damage. \u00a0\u00bb
