When it becomes a systemic occurrence, let us know.

can samsung sue apple for ripping off their hardware flaws now?
That article is so misleading. Look at the stock chart. It shows a HUGE drop and its $.25 a share. Hardly a huge drop.
Any idea how hot it was in the car?
I did a quick google search and got this:
"At 70 degrees on a sunny day, after a half hour, the temperature inside a car is 104 degrees. After an hour, it can reach 113 degrees.” “When temperatures outside range from 80 degrees to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172.”
According to Apple, http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/
- Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
- Nonoperating temperature: ‑4° to 113° F (‑20° to 45° C)
Ah yes, that well known reliable website. They say that if it isn't featured on Zerohedge, it might as well not have happened.

Shouldn't be that hot in AU yet, right?

This isn't the first incident. There were another incidents similar to it with iphone 7.

The long known truth that batteries can be damaged and that can lead to issues?
Or more likely, what counterfeit charger from Amazon that the thing was plugged into...
Why don't you wait to post this until it is proven that the phone caused it. Oh wait, never mind.
So far it seems that any time an iPhone has caught fire the are other extenuating circumstances to go along with it.
Very possible it maybe the same supplier.

Give the Note7 bomb joke a rest already. It was no longer "punny" by the second day of the first recall or ever. They didn't explode either.
But if you want to continue to sound salty to arguably the best smartphone of the year but the least safest to own, karma might be laughing back at iPhone users thanks to Apple's love with sealed batteries. The #1 feature for planned obsolescence by all phone manufacturers.
Class is in session for the entire mobile industry by chasing fastest SoC which overheat, higher resolution, thinness, etc. Gee, benchmark scores states really great numbers when real life experience might only be a millisecond faster to open up your social networking apps. If you live by the spec war, you can die by it too.
Let's just wait it out and see if there is any more of these incidents. Note7 and iPhone 7 might be water-resistant but they sure aren't to fire.
Let me guess, he had the windows closed. Since it was in Australia where they are headed to the hottest time of the year, the temperature inside the car with closed windows was probably approaching 140 degrees. Well above the operating temperature listed with their tech specs. You can't fix stupid.
Nature used to fix stupid. The stupid got eaten and didn't get to produce offspring. You know, the Darwin thing.
