According to the Apple, the iPhone-maker, there could be several things that may cause such a fire incident, which includes use of unauthorised charging cables and chargers.

Incidentally, this is not the first time an iPhone has caught fire. Around two years ago, a viral video on Twitter claimed to show an iPhone 7 Plus catching fire. In December, an Ohio man said that his iPhone XS Max caught fire and exploded in his pocket.
