Batteries on some iPhone 8 swell when charged

If Samsung had its own 'Samsung Gate', Apple already has its 'iPhone 8 Gate'. And is that Eastern media are reporting that users of the new phone from Apple have had serious problems with their batteries.

There are already a few users who report structural failures in the new terminals of Apple: if the iPhone 6 was the terminal that doubled if you carried in the pocket, in the case of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, the battery swells.

At least that's what several users have reported to Chinese media. The clearest example has been the user @ Mogokoro0511 who, as shown with an image on his Twitter, received his new iPhone 8 with major flaws.


As you can see in the picture, the battery of your iPhone 8 had swollen and had moved up the entire top of the screen, letting the internal parts of the terminal glimpse and leaving the screen fully curved.

And it does not seem to be an isolated case. According to the website Pocketnow, at least seven other Apple terminals have had to be sent to the technical support to solve this problem.

 

On the part of the company the only thing that knows until now are brief statements that a spokesman of the same realized to MacRumors, indicating that they were investigating these cases, without providing much more details.

As for whether or not Apple is responsible for this problem, it should be so because it manufactures and markets the defective product, although industry sources also point out that the real culprits of such a failure would be Samsung SDI and LG Chem, which are the actual manufacturers of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus batteries.

In any case, at the moment seem isolated cases and the company has not given much more importance, but perhaps the shadow of the fiasco of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 start to stalk the new iPhone.
