The good news , for you and Apple , is that none of the incident involved the variety of explosions or flaming thatultimately killedthe Samsung Note 7 . Three and a half calendar month after Samsung recalled that equipment , the manufacturing business concluded that there weretwo separate problemswith the assault and battery : some had a welding progeny , some were too large for the cell pouch . According toCNET , there were more than 100 incident in the Samsung case .

For now , Apple ’s berth could just be relegated to a smattering of freak incidents , but it ’s deserving keeping an centre on if you ’re still weighing your options between the iPhone 8 and the X.
