Exploding iPhones in China? Not our fault, says Apple

MacRumors on December 7 cited Japanese website Mac Otakara’s report that Apple would release models 7s and 7s Plus with no redesign, but available in a a new, bright red color and powered by a faster A11 chip.

In mid-November, Apple said it will replace batteries for the iPhone 6s free of charge for customers who have experienced an unexpected shutdown of their smartphones.

The screen appears to be the biggest talking point from the iPhone 8 leaks so far and it’s alleged that Apple will be giving the new handset a curved OLED screen, replacing the LED screens that are now used.

Samsung and LG, joined by Foxconn-owned Sharp by 2018, are said to be Apple’s primary OLED suppliers.

Technology analyst Ziaohan Tay told the BBC there has been no report of iPhone combustion outside China, and the problem may or may not affect all iPhone 6 and 6S models.

The iPhone 7 Plus, meanwhile, is said to have been the fourth highest-selling phone in the USA over the period, with 5.3% of sales. Rumors suggest Apple might be a step closer to this goal as the next iPhone is expected to feature and edge to edge display. Given that Apple usually gets its colors extremely spot on, it is highly likely that the red will be a popular option especially amongst the youth. In that short time, Google reached market parity with more established brands like Huawei and Microsoft, also at 0.5%, Guenveur reported.

Ever since Apple unveiled iPhone 7, the rumor mills started to break speculations about iPhone 8.

When it was first rumored that Apple would omit the headphone jack from the iPhone 7, it kicked off a months-long wave of online furor. Furthermore, OLED displays are flexible and allow manufacturers to create curved and even foldable screens. One will be 4.7 inches and the other 5.7 inches. There are also steps as to what to do if your iPhone 6s is affected. Additionally, Apple may completely move from A10 processor to the A11, according to the report. In light of the unfortunate demise of the Samsung Galaxy Note7, Apple has now managed to raise its United States market share to 40.5%.
