We are all well aware of the exploding Samsung phones case, but now it looks like we may have to add iPhones to the list of malicious hardware. A Reddit user has posted a picture of, reportedly, his iPhone 7, completely ruined and with a singed box. Help, help, iPhone hand grenades!? Possibly, but maybe not.

Judging by the partially burned box, it may be theorized that the phone caught fire before even being unpacked, but we do not know anything for certain. It may be the case, but it ...

Apple collects numbers and contacts in your iMessage
Your iMessage may or may not be safe from the prying eyes of the overprotective institutes, but the people you are contacting are not. Every time you write an iMessage, Apple stores the data on people you’re contacting with.

These logs’re being kept by Apple for 30 ...

Xiaomi hopes that being able to physically “get the feel” of the device, not to mention being able to just walk in from the street and buy one, will ...
