One social media user posted an astonishing picture of his new £800 iPhone 8 Plus which had split along the side - days after buying the expensive gadget.
Apple customers have posted images of their new iPhone 8 Plus featuring 'burst screens'
The owner said the device cracked open when it was charging, according to Taiwanese media.
The phone had been in use for only five days and was charged with an Apple charger and cable, reports The Independent.
And a customer in Japan also reported a similar issue with his iPhone 8 Plus which he claims was delivered split open.
He also posted snaps of the allegedly faulty device on Twitter.
Apple confirmed to The Independent that it was looking into the two reports and that the tech company believes the problems stemmed from the battery “swelling.”
The California-based giant said it does not believe the technical issue poses a safety concern.
