A woman from Wisconsin and insurance company State Farm are suing Apple for $75,000, claiming the tech giant sold her a “defective” iPhone 4S that caused a fire in her home—not unlike Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.
Xai Thao and State Farm claim “the design, manufacture, and sale of the iPhone created a dangerous, unsafe, and defective condition, which existed at the time the iPhone left the hands of Apple.” The lawsuit states that the incident took place on April 1, 2016, but was just filed in US district court.

It is a good thing that no one got killed, or seriously injured by this iPhone 4S fire,
I wonder if she has a good chance of winning.
I think there is a chance that the woman end up getting nothing or a smaller cash settlement after the trial goes on longer than expected where the woman and Apple spends more than $75000 on legal fees which can be very expensive if you hire many lawyers which work for you for months to years on a single case.
Apple may just pay the $75000, so that this story does not get more popular, and make people buy another brand of smartphone.
