You never question power quality until a train socket fries your new iPhone 17 in just 5 mins 🙂
One of my customer were travelling from Delhi to Hyderabad and, as usual, kept their phone for charging. Within minutes, they noticed smoke from the charging point, and they immediately pulled the plug out. Guess what?
The brand new iPhone 17 is not at all functioning. Also, they can't claim any warranty because it's not a phones' fault or anything.
This is an awareness post. As a refurbishing agent who repairs phones, I have noticed this issue a couple of times, and I have advice:
Don't plug your phones into charging into train or buses because they mostly have unstable voltage supply, which can damage your phone as well burn your pocket. Better carry a power bank and use your phone less during the journey, or else you might be the next victim.
This phone was bought just a month ago, literally breaks my heart.
