Let's pray they don't find a way to detonate the batteries!

As in older iPhones? Without the need of an malicious charger

Also Samsung Note 7 was da bomb!

It is the result of, to make the phone thinner, putting a battery that is too thin for the necessary power and therefore it gets too hot. It happens when the design is governed by the commercial demands of managers rather than those of technicians.
