在前往雪梨的 Regional Express ZL319 班機上，一台乘客的 iPhone4 手機，在飛機落地後，冒出濃煙及火光，造成乘客一陣驚慌；所幸在空姐機警的處理下，熄滅了自燃的 iPhone4，機上機組人員及乘客均安；目前自燃的 iPhone4 已移交澳洲運輸安全局調查中。以下為 Regional Express 的新聞稿：
MEDIA RELEASE
MOBILE PHONE SELF COMBUSTION
Regional Express (Rex) flight ZL319 operating from Lismore to Sydney today had an occurrence after landing, when a passenger’s mobile phone started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke accompanied by a red glow.
In accordance with company standard safety procedures, the Flight Attendant carried out recovery actions immediately and the red glow was extinguished successfully.
All passengers and crew on board were unharmed.
The matter has been reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) as well as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for investigation and directions.
The mobile phone in question appears to be an Apple iPhone (see picture below) and has been handed over to ATSB for analysis.
Apple iPhone4 在今年二月份，也曾傳出自燃的消息；在這個月，Apple 才因擔心過熱引起爆炸，而召回了 2005 年出產的一代 iPod nano。而這兩項產品引發自燃的因素，可能的結論都指向是電池的問題，看來 Apple 必須更嚴格檢視上游合作製作廠商的電池品質控管，才能確保使用者的人身安全。
