It's true. Isolated case due to damage done via damage while packaged. Nothing to be concerned about. At all.

Come on, we've had this very story posted hundreds of times already.
The box was damaged during transit. The iPhone battery was punctured. The outcome should be no surprise.

Anything is possible with these phones. It very well could have just shorted and burned up.

L-Ion batteries do not like to be shorted. Looks like someone did this intentionally to the iPhone while the Samsung Note had a defective battery.
It's a hoax. There's already another thread about this.

Is it a hoax? even if its not, 1 iPhone 7 out of the millions they have already sold is not going to be a big deal anyway.
Yes because the article states that something happened to it during shipping that caused that to happen. You can see even the box was severely damaged.
And i agree, these are going to be nothing like the Note 7 that exploded on its own and now their washers and driers too. Gotta love journalists who publish this stuff.
it's not a single incident or fake as many try to prove..

you could be right she talks about a noise before the phone was catching fire,

except the hiss he is talking of is on the 7's and the article is an iPhone 6, but don't let reading get in your way.
No. It's because there's no systemic problem with iPhones exploding.
"Yet" means there is no systemic problem. California also hasn't fallen into the sea - yet.
With the iPhone 7 you can charge iPhone next to you in bed, just keep in pan of water. It's water resistant now.
