An Australian surfer says he returned from the waves to find his car ruined after his Apple phone apparently caught fire.
Mat Jones told Yahoo7 News that his week-old device caught fire while he was hitting the waves on Australia's beautiful south coast. The fire ruined his car.
Jones, who's described as a surf instructor, said he hadn't dropped the phone or used a foreign charger to power it, according to Yahoo7 News. He said he left the device under some clothes during his surf session.
A video of his smoking device has been posted online.
The reported immolation follows Samsung's recall of its Galaxy Note 7 device after some caught fire. The situation with the Note 7 was so extreme, the US banned the device on airplanes.
There's no evidence of a broad issue with the iPhone 7.
Apple says it's in touch with the customer and investigating the incident.
