Mat Jones left his IPhone 7 under a bunch of clothes in his car while he went to takea surfing lesson. When he returned, he found his car filled with smoke, according to 7 News reports AU. The heated phone ignited and smoke the interior. The case is similar to what happened to Note 7 phones. But now IPhone 7 also has more than couple of cases of fires, perhaps facing a similar fate that Samsung did with the Note7 , requiring a worldwide recall.

 Apple is aware of the incident and will investigate the events that led to the phone catching fire. The investigation would also determine whether or not the incident was caused by a defective battery in the IPhone. The IPhone 7 was sitting under clothes, and in a car parked in a beach, and the warm climate contributed to the heat building up in the car and began to warm the phone up, creation a catalyst ignition and with plenty of flammable clothes. Do not leave phones where it can overheat like under the pillows, as phones can get really hot if they are charging and combust and blow up.
