Apple blames exploding Beats headphones on third-party battery

TALK ABOUT A RUDE AWAKENING.

Apple is blaming third-party batteries for a pair of its Beats headphones that exploded on an aeroplane mid-flight earlier this year, injuring a woman as she slept. The Australian woman sought compensation for the cost of her damaged clothing and to replace the headphones (although not for the injuries she sustained, curiously enough), but Apple has claimed that the fault lies in third-party AAA batteries that were being used and not the headphones themselves.
