iPhone and iPod user in Britain, France, Holland and Sweden reported that Apple’s most popular portable devices became combusted in the sunshine and cracked in the weather.

All this started after a French teenager has been injured when his girlfriend’s allegedly started crackling and exploded.

The European Commission asked Apple to shed any lights on the causes and provide feedback.
Apple is currently investigating the matter. An Apple Spokesman said “”We are aware of these reports and we are waiting to receive the units from the customers. Until we have the full details, we don’t have anything further to add.”

Reports of iPhone overheating is not new. We have previously reported a warning that can be seen when the device exceeded it expected operating temperature.

Further to an earlier post regarding the recently cracked iPhone 3GS security, here is a video from YouTube that shows how it can be done. The worrying part is, it doesn’t take a full fledged hacker to be able to do it, any scriptkiddy can use tools to reveal iPhone 3GS passcode and decrypt data!
