Exploding Gadgets: A Modern Day Nightmare
For the past several decades, seldom have you heard about a TV exploding in front our parent's faces with no particular reason. Those old TV sets may weigh a ton but most of them are created so sturdy that people who grew up with these gadgets of old created a saying "They sure don't make em' like that they used to!" And bloody right they are! Those old gadgets were tough.
Yet today, only after a span of a couple of years or even months, you read about another bloke filing a lawsuit against a gadget manufacturer after his Smartphone exploded while he was in a conversation. The newest is about a man who while chatting with a friend on his Android suddenly felt something funny going on in his phone. And just under ten seconds, he finds himself screaming for pain as his trusty smartphone's battery suddenly exploded in his ear.
We have seen a few similar cases like a teen suing Apple when his iPod touch scorched his trousers. Another faulty battery mishap. How about the scientist last 2002 that burned his genitals while using his laptop on his laptop? Talk about your gadget being at the wrong place at the wrong time, huh?
These events indeed isolated, but one can but wonder who will be the next victim of this modern day terror right in the palm of your hands? Such irony indeed that the very gadgets that provide us entertainment can turn on us. Many people have made iPhone insurance popular in the UK since a decent and comprehensive iPhone insurance UK cover will protect your Apple smartphone if it was accidentally damaged, lost or even stolen. But are you covered if your phone suddenly scorched your face? I doubt it!
The good thing about insurance for iPhone is that the chances of your iPhone getting lost or damaged is actually more realistic than the chances of you getting burned by your iPhone alive. Apple strives to deliver products that are top of the line so the ratio of these unpleasant events happening is like millions to one.
I guess the only sad thing is, if indeed it does happen, that one person could be you or a relative and then it stops to be a statistics. It becomes personal. So always practice safety when dealing with these kind of gadgets no matter how innocuous they may seem.
