Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

What if my iPad explodes?

So the Foxconn factory that makes iPads just had an explosion. I heard a batch of iPad batteries were the cause of the explosion. Does that mean my iPad can explode during normal use? I really don't want my iPad to explode while using it or kill me.

All Macs don't have malware, but if someone enters their Mac's admin password to download so-called antivirus software (that supposedly scanned their entire hard drive in a matter of seconds) to rid their Mac of a number of reported viruses on their Mac, he/she will install bogus software - a hoax - not any legitimate antivirus software along with being prompted to provide a credit card to purchase the so called antivirus software before it rids their Mac of a number of viruses that don't exist.


The so called malware is nothing but a phishing scam to get a person's credit card number for absolutely nothing. Apple can do nothing about what lies between a person's ears.

Um, don't buy one.

Or sell the one you have.

Stop using the iPad.

Then you eliminate all risk of personal explosion.
