  A 13-year-old girl in Maine, US suffered  burns as her iPhone caught fire while in her pocket.Apple is in the news again for its Iphone for the second time . 

  
  The teenager when she sat down in class suddenly  heard a pop sound and soon smoke started coming out  from her pants. As her pants caught fire, three of her classmates help her, while a teacher brought a fire extinguisher and blanket to put out the flames.
  
  The student was then taken to Southern Maine Medical Centre in order to treat the burns she suffered from this incident. She has since been released from the hospital.
  
   "EMS division chief Andrew Palmeri said it appears that when the student sat down, with the phone in her back pocket, the phone's battery 'shorted out'. The state fire marshal is investigating."
  
  He also said "People should obviously use caution when placing their phones in their back pockets so as not to crush them and cause an electrical short".

  Last time an IPHONE caught fire while charging where a woman got injured.
