Do not confuse the misadventures d'Apple with theiPhone with those of the Galaxy Footnote 7 of Samsung. Even if there is a point in common : the safety vis-à-vis consumers.
Apple refuses to accept responsibility of the iPhone case that burn in China. She defends herself to a technical fault in its aircraft.
The firm of Cupertino believes that the explosion and the burning of several iPhone models in this country are due to “physical damage external” inflicted on the devices. Therefore, it denies any safety issues linked with its range of smartphones.
last week, the consumer Council of Shanghai has expressed its concerns after a wave of reports of iPhone models, taking the fire when they were being used or charging.
tests conducted by Apple on the phones of suspects would tend to demonstrate that the origin of the failure would be to find outside of its perimeter.
” The devices that have already been scanned, have clearly shown that physical damage external have resulted in thermal problems “, commented a spokesperson from Apple to AFP (via Le Figaro). “We consider security as a top priority and have found nothing of concern on these products. “
in The past month, Apple has made a response to another technical failure on a series of iPhone 6s products in the period September-October 2015. The terminals were burnt out systematically, without apparent reason.
The firm Tim Cook has agreed to change the models involved, whereas this defect was in the design of the terminal.
The misadventures encountered by Apple with the iPhone are of the same order as those encountered by Samsung with its Galaxy Footnote 7. The competitor south Korean has had to proceed to the recall of millions of units of this phablet, which had just been launched.
The worries of defective batteries (resulting also there in a risk of fire) have ended up killing the model that had the potential to become a flagship of Samsung for Christmas.
Have we solved the mystery ? According to Silicon.fr Instrumental Technology has a track. “We believe [...] that there was a fundamental problem with the design of the phone itself,” recalls Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, CEO and co-founder of the california-based company, which accompanies the product design hardware.
details of the research are provided on the blog of Instrumental. His team has discovered that ” the design [of the case] can compress the Lithium battery even in normal operation “. In the case of charges and discharges of the batteries, the chemical process causes an expansion of the case, even the smallest one.
Samsung has he been negligent on this component ? The south-Korean company has not officially provided an explanation for the abnormal overheating of the battery affecting the Galaxy Footnote 7.
