May it be that these brainfryers are particularly DESIGNED to explode to prevent jailbreak modification?!?

IMO that stinks badly of a self destruction mechanism – much like James Bond’s self-combusting briefcase.

Hi everyone, I oppened an iPhone, and when I was tring to close it, the cover didnt close well, soh I oppened it again, but then from inside it came a smoke so I quikly oppened and stoped the fire with my thumb.
It didnt explode, I will try to replace the battery, because the circuit board is intact. I hope everything works fine.

Doesn’t look like the battery exploded, just a short circuit and some burned parts. They were very lucky. A real lipo explosion would have engulfed the entire work area in flames, and almost certainly have resulted in injury.
