Apple - the new Samsung? It seems that Apple Inc. AAPL is facing the same safety issues as its rival Samsung, as eight iPhone 6 handsets have reportedly exploded in China.
As per a report released by the Shanghai Consumer Council, the handsets’ batteries powered down emitting smoke and eventually exploded. The Council has called upon Apple to look into the matter. The Council report also added that the company had, earlier in the year, replaced a woman’s iPhone that exploded with a new one without “addressing the cause” of the explosion.
