One more thing, users who are experiencing this nightmare are those with the iPhone 7, 6s, 6 and 5s. This issue started after Apple IOS 10.1.1 was provided, most users are blaming the current software for this annoying problem. Therefore, The company is working on a new IOS upgrade system which is going to fix some major problem like, batteries automatically dying from 40% to 0%, temporarily shut down and the screen crash.

For the exploding batteries, the company has reported solving this problem as soon as possible, so they gonna replace the batteries of those devices with bad batteries.
