صورة
An iPad Air has exploded at one Australian phone store. As a result, the local fire department was called and the scene had to be evacuated, according to  Mail Online. The incident occurred in an Vodafone store in Canberra. A Vodafone spokesperson said a “burst of flames” appeared near the charging port of the device. This suggests the tablet “suffered from extreme heat.” No one was injured. An Apple representative is said to have visited the store to collect the iPad Air for testing. Officially, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company provided no comment on the incident. This isn’t the first time an iOS device exploded. In previous instances, however, it was an  iPhone that caught fire.  Incidentally, one of those cases had to do with an iPhone 4  exploding on a Australian flight.

Schiller was comforted by what he saw in the darkened audience. “It’s really neat to stand here and see all the Apple logos glowing,” he said of computers on the laps of journalists, analysts and fans, all poised to send his words into the world. The lights dimmed, and Schiller stepped backward, stage left. A glowing iPhone 5 came up from beneath the stage, rising on a pedestal. “It is an absolute jewel,” he said. Schiller then pitched the phone’s features, including an 8-megapixel camera. A photo of a quiet cove flashed on the big screen. “The ocean just looks bluer on the iPhone 5,” he said, as an image of two boys, lying on green grass and smiling into the lens, replaced the cove. “Kids look happier. They real...
