In a separate incident, a Japanese man posted images of the iPhone 8 Plus showing that the device bust open and the display of the device separated from rest of the body. However, the user did not mention that the incident took place while the device was charging or not.

As per The Independent report, Apple has not come out of explanation yet, but is looking into the matter. Since no other incidents have been reported so far, it is likely that these were isolated incidents.
