Apple is investigating a melting iPhone 7 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) Plus that's the subject of a viral video on Twitter, reports (http://mashable.com/2017/02/23/exploding-iphone-7-plus-video/#DzE_0RRS3qq7) Mashable. The owner of the phone, Brianna Olivas, says her phone exploded and started smoking Wednesday morning. Her boyfriend grabbed his phone and started recording the video, which has garnered 21,340 retweets on Twitter.

Olivas tells Mashable her phone wouldn't turn on Tuesday, so she took it to the Apple Store. After a couple of tests, employees told her the iPhone was fine and it soon began working **rmally again.آ*She charged the phone near her as she slept that night, and the next morning her boyfriend moved the phone to the dresser. As he went to the bathroom he saw the phone smoking and heard it squealing. It soon caught fire and he "quickly grabbed it and threw it into the restroom," where it blew up.
Olivas has since turned the phone over to Apple for further testing, with the Cuperti** company saying it'll k**w more within a week. An Apple spokesperson said the company is in touch with Olivas and is "looking into" the matter.
