It was in his pocket, how could it be overheating because of usage? Probably a battery malfunction, like Phaedrus said.

Dont get me wrong, burns hurt...but money can make almost anything feel better.
America, the wonderful land where every true american's dream is to sue somebody for a lot of money. In Finland, we don't get money if we're going to let the self combusting phone burn us, so I'd say what he did was just fine.

Wut? When it happened to the Samsung Galaxy S3 no one really cared and said things like "This sort of stuff happens" when it happens to the iPhone you can see the blind Apple hate in this forum.
