Apple says it's not to blame for a spate of iPhones apparently catching fire.
The Shanghai Consumer Council, a watchdog group in China, reported last week that eight iPhone 6 devices had spontaneously combusted. Apple's response is that "external factors" were to blame for these "thermal events" __with the phone batteries, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Batteries have been causing headaches for smartphone manufacturers over the past year. Apple recalled iPhone 6 and 6S models in China after they switched themselves off before the battery was depleted, while Samsung was forced to recall millions of Galaxy Note 7 devices due to their tendency to overheat and catch fire.
