* An 11-year-old girl has claimed that an iPhone exploded in her hands. Kayla Ramos was playing on her iPhone 6 in her sister's bedroom in California, when she noticed sparks coming off the device. She received a minor burn from the explosion. Apple said there were several factors that could cause an iPhone to overheat. These include using third-party Apple products, such as charging cables, or having repairs done through a company not authorised by Apple. Samsung was previously forced to issue a global recall of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after people reported that the device was exploding. The recall cost Samsung $5bn in losses and lost sales.
