if they replied to me with a confidentiality agreement a lawyer would be responding on my behalf with the intent of a huge settlement. but thats just me i may be a douche bag.

another reason I will never own an i-phone, but that ranks low on why I wouldn't own it.

in the absence of any factual information [thanks apple] the rumors and exaggerations are bound to grow.

US technology giant Apple said Friday it had seen no evidence that overheating batteries had caused screens on some of its iPhone devices to explode, blaming incidents in France on "external force."

what are some examples of "external forces" which might lead to an iPhone (but not other phones) exploding, or whatever the technical term is for this phenomena?

(my guess is that "explosion" is probably quite an exaggeration)
