More reports of batteries swelling from the recently launched iPhone 8 Plus have continued to erupt after a Taiwan user complained of her iPhone battery swelling while it was being charged.
The total number of iPhone 8 plus battery swelling case has risen to 6, following reports in Taiwan, Japan, China, Greece and Canada. One of the recent case happens to be a Canadian who told MacRumours that he "bought and unboxed a new iPhone 8 Plus on Sunday, but was forced to return it by Monday after the display popped out."
All those complaining of the defective battery on the iPhone 8 Plus all have nearly identical symptoms which is, the battery swells to the point of splitting open the enclosures.
After the first incident, spokes person for Apple said that they were aware and were looking into the possible cause of the problem.
The growing numbers of the iPhone 8 Plus device having this battery issue which is 6, is not much, but looking at the date that the device was launched to this time......the short time frame that all these cropped up is quite a call for concern.
Apple should investigate the cause of the swollen batteries and find a remedy to it before it escalate like that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. And as you all know, the same people producing the iPhone 8 Plus battery were the same people that made batteries for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
