The Australian Transport Safety Bureau hands down its findings on an iPhone 4 that combusted after a flight in regional NSW in late 2011.

A preliminary x-ray of the phone by the ATSB showed an errant screw in the battery bay of the iPhone 4 device. (photo courtesy: ATSB).

Once the handset was sent to the United States, it underwent a two-stage examination including an initial non-destructive CT scan analysis. This also picked up the errant screw. The device was then disassembled. (photo courtesy: ATSB).
