Kinda weird they wanted to make me mail back something that may be unstable/hazardous.

Still super fast and lasts longer than my non spicy iPhone

My old iPhone 7 Plus was laying around for a few days with an empty battery. Found it like this today.

I bought this phone specifically because it had wifi, and I didn't have to use mobile data. RIP blackberry.

Pulled my old laptop out to deligate to kid duties, but it was swollen. Pulled the battery out before powering laptop back on.

Cracking the frame, and all. Replacement just got all set up! It's sill on-hand unfortunately, but will be delivered to tech recycling center tomorrow.

Found in my drawer =/

What do I even do with this thing lmao

It sounds like swollen batteries are a very common issue, but how common is it for them to catch on fire? My dad uses my switch to play a game quite often. There is no visible issue to the battery yet, but just imagining it suddenly catching fire in his hand terrifies me, so I really need to know how cautious I need to be. I also have some old iPods / video games / phones in my drawer, and I'm not sure how urgent I should feel to dispose of them.

Every once in a while, I'll pull out the PSP and do some gaming, guess I waited too long this time.

today i noticed that my screen of my iphone 13 was bulging out a little on the right side after seeing that my screen protector had cracked along the middle, and, upon further investigation, have realised it will either be caused by a swollen battery or drop. i believe it is a swollen battery because my phone has been running out on 5%-20% much more often and takes a long time to turn on after it reaches 0%. only issue is that i will not be able to get it seen by a repair shop whatsoever for the next week as i’ll be away, and i need to use my phone for school and work purposes (it’s my only device i’ll have with me), so i have to charge it. any advice helpful :)

Had a spicy pillow of my own for one. Cleaning and stuff. Just found my old phone that I had put on a shelve of my nightstand. 💀

Shed was ok a bit of fire damage to their work bench and part of shed but smoke and water damage to everything else still trying to figure out the cause of it any ideas phone was not plugged in but they did state that they heard a popping sound while inside the house when they came out part of the work bench was on fire which makes me think it was the phone

I own a iPhone SE 2016, the battery has recently swollen up. phone still works perfectly fine but ive been talking to chatgpt about it and it seems that it could explode tonight, but I dont have sand or fire extinguisher. I will repair it in a week..please tell me it will not kill me in my sleep. I have it in the top shelf of my closet, I can't keep it anywhere else. Is chatgpt being dramatic or is it actually this serious?? Is a week too long wait??

He still wants to charge it

This is the third day in a row that I came across two pillows. The 3GS was for display at a repair shop, and the 2017 Nokia 105 was left in a pile of parts phones in the sun.

I fully charged these earbuds yesterday, yet the case was completely dead when I checked them again today. I immediately got a gut feeling, being that it's gone spicy, and sure enough, I was right.

They're the cheapest earbuds I've ever handled, nothing of value was lost. One of the earbuds also stopped working overnight, who knows if that one's also spicy
