Ars Technica reports that Apple is looking into reports of exploding iPhones and iPods.

"Recent press reports concerning 'exploding' iPhones and iPods have the European Commission concerned, prompting the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers to ask Apple about the problem. Apple says it is investigating the reports, though no definitive answers are yet available," writes Chris Foresman.

"These are isolated incidents and... there is not a general problem," Apple said in a statement filed with the Commission. "For the cases which have been reported in the media, Apple [is] trying to get more information on the details of the incidents and will do tests as necessary to investigate the possible cause."
