This could mean more trouble for Apple as a section of the Taiwanese media has reported a case of an explosion of an iPhone 8 plus while charging. The iPhone 8 Plus belonging to a woman named Wu from Taichung City was said to have exploded Tuesday afternoon when she decided to plug in the device which was at the moment at the 70% power mark.
