A user from Taiwan claimed her iPhone 8 Plus, which belongs to Apple's latest line-up of devices, split open while it was charging.

"So far, the finger of blame is being pointed at the battery. Unconfirmed reports state the iPhone 8 Plus uses the same battery manufacturer, Amperex Technology Limited (ATL), as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7", The Next Web reported late on Friday.
