[HUMOR]I think this is a good thing. The publicity will finally make Apple's sagging iPhone sales soar.

Heard about it on the news here, i'm not convinced these things explode, sounds more like an excuse to replace a broken phone with a FREE new one

You'll probably have rotten luck and get the non-exploding model. I hear that the exploding iPhones are going for as much as $4,000 on eBay.

I just want a 3GS, I don't care if it explodes or not. I just want one now..

Didn't something similar happen to the iPod Touch as well, i'm sure I heard somewhere that a couple of those decided to explode as well.

I'm assuming the explosion is set to detonate immediately after the warranty expires...
