Today a new South Korean report has surfaced stating that "Apple's iPhone8 Plus is expected to be released in South Korea without any actions taken while there has been a concern about its stability due to swelling of its battery which has happened various places of the world.
Possibility of unexpected damage due to swelling cannot be ignored as well. There are strong public opinions that want at least some kind of tests on batteries before iPhone 8 Plus is officially released."
Although Apple announced that it will investigate internally, it did not mention regarding ways of investigation and corresponding products and is continuing to sell iPhone 8 series without any measures.
The report increases their hysteria with every passing paragraph. While only a few cases of this issue have been reported, the Korean report has already predetermined that this is a "phenomenon" related to batteries and one that will lead to damage.
There is a chance that iPhone 8 Plus may become the first product to be applied with 'Guideline on Recall of Devices' that was announced by South Korean Government.
