Submission + - iPhone accidents: Apple faces inquiries in the EU
o'reor writes: As more cases of iPhone screen explosions emerge in the news on this side of the pond, Apple is now facing official inquiries and lawsuits in France, which forced them to break silence and finally acknowledge the incidents.
"We are aware of these reports and we are waiting to receive the iPhones from the customers. Until we have the full details, we don't have anything further to add."
Following those reports, the European commission had already decided to step in last week, while Apple tried to dismiss the problem as "isolated incidents".
Meanwhile, iPhone explosion-related sites are now popping up on the Internet, releasing games such as iPop to chill out and relax on the subject, but also giving users advice on preventing iPhone accidents, or detecting imminent explosions.
Dear iPhone-owning geeks, now may be the right time to consider buying this Kevlar-lined underwear you've seen on ThinkGeek...
