Shocking - iPhone XS Max catches fire in man's pocket

According to reports, a three-week-old iPhone XS Max caught fire in the rear pocket of a man from Ohio earlier this month. Reportedly, the man has been in contact with Apple over the incident but is not happy with the replacement option offered.

According to the man, he was out on a lunch break when he noticed a strange smell from his iPhone. He also felt heat emanating from his rear pocket and a burning sensation on his skin. Reportedly, green and yellow coloured smoke was rising from his iPhone XS Max.

The fire had to be put out by a fire extinguisher, leaving a hole in his clothes. The man wanted compensation for his phone and his ruined clothes, shoes and wireless service. The victim is reportedly considering legal remedies for his predicament.
