There have been two instances of this happening thus far. The cause: (unofficially: battery swelling)

    Two separate reports from iPhone 8 Plus users recall their new phones 'cracking open'. The likely culprit of these events may be a faulty battery but with only two reports, it's not a widespread problem rising to the scale of Samsung's Galaxy Note7 fiasco late last year, for the time being.
     
    There are also some reports that one of the battery manufacturers contracted by Apple is Amperex Technology Limited, the same company that provided the component for Samsung's Galaxy Note7. However, there is as yet no official confirmation of this information.

    The question that really needs to be answered here is why Apple is using batteries from a supplier that sold batteries to Samsung in the Note 7 fiasco. That would be the last supply point I would choose.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Why are people still buying these overpriced piles of discharged fodder? All good questions.
