Becak Terguling, iPhone 6 Terbakar Penulis: Oik Yusuf | Senin, 20 Oktober 2014 | 11.02 WIB
*KOMPAS.com -* Kasus ponsel terbakar terjadi lagi, kejadian kali ini menimpa seorang pria warga AS bernama Phillip Lechter. Ceritanya, sebagaimana dikutip dari *Phone Arena*, pada suatu akhir minggu, Lechter bersama keluarga berlibur ke daerah Tucson, Arizona. Di sana dia menaiki angkutan untuk turis serupa becak yang ditarik oleh sepada. Di tengah jalan si pengemudi tersandung sesuatu sehingga menyebabkan becak terguling. Lechter terbanting ke permukaan jalan. Beruntung, dia bersama istri dan anaknya yang ikut menumpang becak tak mengalami cedera berarti. Tapi tidak demikian halnya dengan iPhone 6 yang tersimpan di saku celana Lechter. Meski terbungkus dalam holster berbahan kulit, iPhone 6 milik Lechter membengkok akibat benturan waktu kecelakaan. Perangkat itu mulai terbakar saat Lechter sedang menolong istri dan anaknya. Phillip Lechter Contoh kendaraan becak seperti yang dinaiki Phillip Lechter "Saya merasa kaki saya terbakar, lalu mencium asap yang muncul dari celana," tutur Lechter yang mengisahkan pengalamannya dalam sebuah posting blog <http://philliplechter.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/my-apple-iphone-6-bent-and-caught-on-fire-in-my-front-pocket/>. Akibat kejadian tersebut, dia menderita luka bakar di paha sebelah kanan. Rupanya, iPhone 6 itu membengkok parah sehingga baterainya bocor. Kebocoran baterai inilah yang mengakibatkan ponsel terbakar. iPhone 6 sendiri sebelumnya sempat dilaporkan rawan membengkok <http://tekno.kompas.com/read/2014/09/24/12214777/Tiga.iPhone.6.Melengkung.Beredar.di.Internet>. Foto dan video iPhone 6 yang bengkok -baik yang sengaja dibengkokkan maupun tidak- banyak beredar di internet sehingga menimbulkan pertanyaan soal daya tahan fisik perangkat tersebut. Belajar dari kasus Lechter, pemilik iPhone 6 disarankan melindungi ponselnya dengan cangkang tambahan yang berbahan keras untuk mencegah terjadinya peristiwa serupa. **************************************** http://philliplechter.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/my-apple-iphone-6-bent-and-caught-on-fire-in-my-front-pocket/ My APPLE iPHONE 6 bent and caught on fire in my front pocket! This was a surreal experience, and if it hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t believe it myself. I had pre-ordered the New Apple iPhone 6 (not the 6 plus) from my wireless carrier the first day available and I received the phone less than a month ago, in September. * The Event* My family and I went to Tucson, AZ for University of Arizona’s family weekend on the weekend of October 11th. We went down to attend the football game that Saturday. We were walking to a tailgate party, when we noticed 2 rickshaws/pedicabs on the street… The bikes with a trailer that you ride on. [image: pedicab] <https://philliplechter.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/pedicab.jpg> An example of a rickshaw/pedicab! There were 6 of us, so we divided into 2 groups; and my wife, youngest son (7) and I were in the second rickshaw. We didn’t get much more than a block down the road when the driver/biker caught a trolley track in the road and lost balance. He feel over causing the rickshaw to tip over to the left. Fortunately, the rickshaw didn’t tip all the way over, and we were not thrown out. I was half on, half off the rickshaw as I was sitting on the left side of the seat. I immediately checked my wife and son to make sure they were ok. While I was looking at them, I felt a burning sensation on my leg and then saw and smelled smoke from my pants. I surveyed the rickshaw quickly and could not find anything that could have set me on fire. Then it hit me, my phone was in my pocket. Somehow in the process of the tipping of the rickshaw *my new APPLE iPhone 6 had bent in my front pocket and caught on fire*. The smoke was thick and I quickly laid down to get the APPLE iPhone 6 out of my pocket. The smell was disturbing. I could feel my leg burning. I pulled the Apple iPhone 6 out of my pocket and threw it to the side. Someone from a crowd of spectators threw a cup of water on my leg to put the fire out on my jeans. I had a leather Apple case on the phone, and the case was facing forward, and that saved my fingers from getting badly burned when i went to remove the phone from my pocket. A bystander was not so lucky; he picked up the phone without the case and burned his fingers. With a crowd looming, another bystander then put Ice water on the phone to cool it off while a 3rd observer took the below video. Listen closely, you can hear the sizzling. *The Result* Once we all calmed down we assessed the damage. My APPLE iPhone 6 burned through my jeans pocket, through my boxers and significantly burned my leg. In the process of removing the phone from my pocket I also burnt my hip. The Doctor’s report described a 11.5 cm x 10.5 cm burn area on my right leg and classified the burn as 2nd degree with first degree burns surrounding the area. According to the Doctor, the burn will require cleanliness, antibiotics and pain management for treatment. In the days since the event… include interruptions to my business, workout, and family life and the ‘freak out’ factor for all involved.
