Also, Israel already assassinated someone by exploding their cell phone way back in 1996.
Does that mean, all of us are wearing a bomb with Lithium battery, most of the time? On the other hand: does such battery really be this hazardous? I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.
The cylindrical lithium cells can go off like a rocket, but the pouch cells in a phone just burn and are very difficult to extinguish.
Apart from the Galaxy Note 7 which had a design flaw in the battery, it's incredibly rare for a phone battery to catch fire without physical damage though.
Holy shit I had a Note 7 - and loved it.
