Rather disturbing reports come from all across Europe as it looks like some iPhones and iPods have decided to explode all of a sudden. Does this mean you shouldn’t buy a new iPhone or iPod in Europe?

Apple did comment on the situation and here’s what it said:

To date, there are no confirmed battery overheating incidents for iPhone 3GS and the number of reports we are investigating is in the single digits

The iPhones with broken glass that we have analyzed to date show that in all cases the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone.

So far we’ve heard about incidents in France, UK, Holland and Sweden. People haven’t suffered major injuries yet but that doesn’t mean things couldn’t go worse. I’m sure nobody would appreciate pulling out glass shards from their eyes or ears. What about you? Did you have any problems with your new iPod or iPhone 3GS?
