An 80-year-old man from a Paris suburb said his iPhone screen had broken up without explanation in July, the week after he bought it.“I took it out of my pocket and held it to my ear and saw the screen crack up like a car windscreen,” Rolland Caufman told AFP.On Tuesday, a 26-year-old security guard claimed he was hit in the eye with a glass piece when his iPhone screen cracked up.The incidents have led to investigations by French consumer affairs groups.“An investigation is under way,” said a spokesman from watchdog DGCCRF.
Consumers in the UK, Holland and Sweden have also reported similar problems, prompting (激起) an earlier EU investigation.The European Commission has also asked the 27 EU nations to keep it informed of any problems, under its Rapex scheme.Rapex is the EU rapid alert system for dangerous consumer products.The system issue alerts for multiple products every week, sometimes leading to mass product recalls, but often with no consequence.
Apple, which has sold 26 million iPhones and 200 million iPods to date, said it was aware of the reports and was waiting to receive the handsets from the affected customers.The firm has been accused of trying to hush-up those cases of iPhones and iPods heating up or bursting into flames in the US and the UK.Ken Stanborough and his daughter, from Liverpool, have accused the firm of trying to silence them after the child’s iPod exploded and the family sought a refund.Apple reportedly offered to pay the money to Mr. Stanborough, but only if he kept the terms of the settlement secret.It has been reported that the device’s lithium ion batteries (锂离子电池) could be the source of the problem.“We are waiting to receive the iPhones from the customers,” said Alan Hely, head of European Communications for Apple.“Until we have the full details, we don’t have anything further to add.”
