NEW DELHI: After suffering from poor reception signals, here's a new worry for iPhone 4 owners.
According to a news report in Boy Genius Report (BGR), Apple's latest iPhone 4 caught fire while being hooked to a computer using the Apple USB cable. The phone’s user suffered minor burn injuries on his hand.
The report quotes close AT&T sources saying that a customer had brought the phone to the store in hope of getting it repaired. However, the device had suffered damages beyond repair.
The report also says that a local Apple Store confirmed that the fire was caused due to a defective USB port. The bezel of the device had got extremely hot.
Apple last week admitted that iPhone 4 has been inflating signal strengths and masking poor reception. Following complaints about reception problems with its iPhone 4, Apple discovered a software problem that has displayed inaccurately high signal strength since the original device was introduced in 2007.
