A couple in Southeast Washington says an iPhone exploded on their bed while they were lying with their three-month-old daughter.
Curtis Gilmore and DeAngela Miller told ABC7 they both received minor burns from the explosion but the baby was unhurt.
“It could have been way worse than what it was.”
Gilmore says he was holding the baby when the phone blew up near his arm and near Miller’s leg.
“We were just talking, and something went, ‘pow!’ And I bounced up and [screamed]. And I looked and the phone was on fire.”
Miller says the iPhone 6s Plus is owned by her brother, who ran and grabbed the phone and then threw it into the hallway outside the family’s apartment.
An Apple spokesperson says the company is taking the incident very seriously and promised the company will look into what could have caused the explosion.
