A spine-chilling story… An Apple user claims to have seen his Apple Watch overheat and explode before his eyes. A fact that Apple would have liked to keep secret, which was not in its intentions given the gravity of the situation.
As much chance of winning the lottery as having this bad experience
A user equipped with an Apple Watch Series 7 reported to our colleagues at 9to5Mac about his mishap with the Apple Watch. In his explanation, he assures that the connected watch initially overheated in a worrying way.
Worse still, a few minutes later, the Apple Watch began to smoke before literally exploding before his eyes. It also states that a huge crack was created on the back and watchOS was showing a warning message asking to immediately turn off the device due to too high temperature.
The customer obviously contacted the assistance just behind who went up the information to a manager, responsible for carrying out an in-depth investigation into this extremely rare case. At the same time, he says he received no solution or advice in the following days and even that Apple would have asked him to remain discreet on this subject.

A document was reportedly sent to him, asking him to sign and confirm that he will not divulge this story on the internet. He finally made the decision to ignore this paper and contact 9to5Mac to let as many people as possible know about it.
Fortunately, the customer was not wearing the watch on his wrist at the time of the explosion. Nevertheless, he assures that it left burn marks on his sofa and that he could have ended up in the emergency room.
