My iPhone SE exploded when not in use and stored in the box

I had a working iPhone SE (although no longer in use) stored in the original box. Today i wanted to start using it again as replacement. It's an older iPhone SE, model A1723.

I found that the iPhone was kind of exploded and totally ripped out of the body.

Anyone else ever seen the same? My god! WTF!

BRAND NEW IPHONE 15 PRO COMPLETELY DEAD IN 10 DAYS! I recently bought an iPhone 15 Pro and it went completely dead in just 10 days - not turning on/ restarting/ being detected by the laptop at all. Lost half my data in the process unfortunately. Went to the apple service center and they asked me to come back later with an appointment even though the person was doing nothing there at the time. Came back with an appointment and they still made me wait 45 minutes? They checked my phone and said it will take 3 weeks to repair! I don't think 3 weeks is an acceptable timeline to be phoneless in this day & age especially when cause by an issue at apple's end. If it's going to take that long maybe replace it with another phone readily available? On top of that, I know a couple of other people who have faced the exact same issue. Absolutely would not recommend upgrading to the iPhone 15. I've been an apple user since the iphone 3 and have loved apple ever since but this has completely put me off apple and their quality standards. A brand you thought you could trust to deliver high quality has deeply disappointed. At the very least, would appreciate if this post isn't deleted like the one I posted earlier - customers should be aware of the issues in the phone to make an informed decision and spare them their money and weeks of a stressful situation.

iPhone 13 Pro dead in one month Hello, I purchased an iPhone 13 Pro on 07 June 2022 and it stopped working on 07 July 2022. I visited Apple Service centre they checked and said it’s dead. Will Apple give me an 100% new phone as replacement in black box ? I don’t quite like the concept of Apple giving client a repaired phone when we have paid original price for a new product. Why should Apple make us accept a repaired phone ? Repaired phone or a phone that doesn’t come in the original black box packing is as good as an second hand phone.

iPhone 14 Pro Max Back Shattering Every 3 Months I got the iPhone 14 Pro Max back in March, 2023, the back of it was shattered in June 2023, in an OtterBox case dropping from my waist level and I didn’t know for days, until my fiancé pointed ig out, I got my new iPhone 14 Pro Max shipped to me a couple weeks later, so I got it end of June beginning of August and the back of it is shattered again in the knock of OtterBox defender case, and it landed face down, again, from my waist level, the screen didn’t get a new scratch on it but the whole back is shattered again. And I’m at a loss for what to do because I have to pay 100 dollars out of pocket every 3 months to have my phone replaced and I’m expected to pay it off for 3 years making it so if I have to replace the phone every 3 months like I have been, another 1200 dollars into the phone, and I’m really frustrated because it’s not like I’m chucking the phone or being rough with it it’s as simple as falling out of my hand or sweatshirt pocket, and I feel as like if I’m expected to pay the phone off for 3 years the phone should last 3 years not 3 months, and I’ve tried calling apple support and they pretty much told me they can’t do anything and to post on here. Any suggestions??
