Its telling if JRE says he hasn’t had a phone explode in the last 10yrs or so.
Ugh, this is exactly why I find his video kinda misleading and unfair. It’s one thing to test the durability, but its a completely other thing to basically frame the device to consumers as a fire and explosion hazard by doing things to it that no normal person does, even by accident.
The claim that in the last 10 yeas no other phone exploded probably lies in the fact that phones were mostly not foldable and double the thickness. The iPhone 6 Plus bent just as bad, just not at the place where the battery was. He said it himself, he probably punctured the battery while bending more the already bent and shattered phone.
He, for what I can remember, also didn’t bother to explicitely mention that this is an extreme case and it could happen, but tries to play it casually like Google has a massive issue and he “just used the phone as normal”. He created bad publicity, surely attracting many many views by framing this as something unexpected and controversial.
If he started punching all phones for a test, they will all go up in flames.
