On an airline that’s actually serving the nice country of Australia at the moment, an iPhone 4 decided enough was enough. Shortly after Regional Express flight ZL319 landed in Sydney from Lismore, “a passenger’s cell phone started emitting a major amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow.” What happened next is a little an Aussie mystery, however it seems one day that the glow was “extinguished successfully.” No person onboard was harmed, and the handset in question was handed over to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau for “analysis.” It suffered only mild reception issues just before its final collapse, and if faced with the same situation, Siri reportedly stated that it will consult a therapist before discharging hot fury.
