now you have a useless mouth to feed, someone who can't fight or work.

Hey, I represent that.

This is why you should only buy mobile devices one at a time from shady Ebay sellers. j/k

When I read about this I thought it was the dreaded lithium battery meltdown being induced in these devices by some remote code hack. Lithium batteries would generate a lot of heat and flames but they would take some time to catch fire and would probably get really hot and bulge before catching fire. So it has to be explosives.
