I posted a similar question before, but i wanted to make this one a little more broad and to the point.
I have an old iphone 4 (not a current phone being used just a phone i use for pictures and stuff )
But i noticed a burn plasticy smell the other day that happens only while it was charging. The phone hasnt turned off and it still worked fine. It actually was charging pretty quick. 4-5 days later It happened again and the 2nd time the smell sort of lingered alittle more than before. I turned the phone off as a precaution and havent turned it back on since. The outlet where it had been charging at still has a bit of the smell aswell.. It was being charged with a plastic cord charger i got at the conveince store...
What would be the reason for the smell and is my data/personal info from the phone safe?
Thankyou again, xx
