Just glad it wasn't in someone's pocket at the time!

Hard to see in pics but the battery is really swelled. Phone rocks like a rocking chair now due to back case being so distorted!

The battery on my OG MacBook pro did this a few months back. Apple needs to address this if they haven't already in their new devices.

It's a lithium ion battery issue nothing specific to Apple.

I have had tons of other lithium ion battery devices that never resulted in explosion. Also that OG MacBook pro went through like 3 magsafe power cords in succession. It was a poor enough experience for me to never personal buy an apple product with a battery in it ever again. Imac desktops for this guy from now on.
