Let's hope the surfer dude has a good luck with his insurance company because this isn't Apple's fault. Pope might be wrong despite being infallible, but Apple is never wrong and there are never problems with Apple's products, only problems with users not worthy of Apple's perfect devices. Steve Jobs will rise from his grave as a lich king to punish all those who'd dare accuse Apple!

This is why you don't lock dogs in cars in the sun either, how hot did it probably get in that car? Doesn't mention if he left it charging though

Not that it has anything to do with the video, but how do you know if he's a good instructor or not from a 20 second video?

Under clothes in a car, in surf country. Ya, I don't think this is news worthy for a tech site, rather local news..... :P

Life hack, use a modern phone as a way to start a fire when you're cold.

This guy was hired by Samsung who gave him a modified iPhone with a bad battery to get all eyes on Apple 🤓

Samdung should sue Apple, I'm sure they have the patent to exploding phone batteries. That feature is innovation Apple is stealing. It'd only be fair if Apple pay $1.05 billion USD for blatantly stealing Samdung's IP.

So, in a thread about eVGA graphics cards overheating, you immediately attack AMD users who haven't even contributed to the thread in any way, then you come into this thread and start over here..... A bit of a hypocrite? While some anti-Apple bigots are going to scream "doom", it's out of line to post such in this thread.
It's something a lot of people do, it's not as if he can take the phone with him on the water. I wouldn't be surprised if half the people who comment on how stupid it was to leave the phone in the car have done a similar thing themselves in the last couple of years.
I leave my phone in my car regularly... I usually turn it off, place it under a seat where it's completely out of the sunlight and leave a window or 2 cracked to allow heat to escape. I noticed that the phone will get hotter if it's powered on than it will if it's powered off, which is why I turn it off. Placing the phone under clothes allows heat buildup and prevents heat from escaping from the phone.

This guy better be careful - Apple corporation are not going to let some lowlife "surf-dude" besmirch their reputation or cost them potential billions in losses for a bit of cheap publicity for his surf lessons...

Shhh! The tinfoil watchers are watching. Better fly under their radar. That's what I do anyway! 😀 Btw, I jokingly said the same thing for SN7 about Apple over the SN7 explode thread. :P

Hot day and phone in car under clothes, I bet that it was quite warm in there. Still, I think there should be some safety features which would turn off the phone if it gets too hot to prevent exploding.

First of all that guy wasn't a surf instructor. He's your typical beach bum who tries to pick up chicks by offering them surfing lessons. As for the video, doesn't anyone else find it odd how vigorously that cloth was burning while the phone was not even smoking anymore? Take a piece of an old t-shirt and try lighting it on fire. After you fail in replicating that video, try again with a propane torch. Again, while you will get burning it wont burn like that once the flame is removed. [pure speculation] I'd wager this guy fell asleep in his truck while smoking a cigarette and set the seat on fire, then in a panic to not be responsible for the fire, came up with the scheme to blame it on an iphone and used some sort of accelerant on that cloth to set the phone on fire. [/pure speculation] I just checked the weather and its been in the high 70's to low 80s across most of the south coast of Australia. That being the case, im not sure if i would believe the hot car theory.
