iPad Battery Explosion Causes Apple Store Evacuation


An Apple retail store in Amsterdam was temporarily evacuated after an iPad battery exploded and released substances in the air that could have potentially been harmful. The employees were quick to secure the device after its battery exploded but since the vent could have released potentially harmful substances in the air, the store was evacuated.

According to reports, the store in Amsterdam was evacuated and closed temporarily after an iPad battery exploded inside. Employees quickly secured the iPad and the punctured battery in a container of sand after it exploded. There was no fire or smoke but first responders did tend to three employees who experienced trouble breathing after the fact.

Firefighters later worked to ventilate the space and clear any harmful vapors out of the store. The store was closed down during this time to ensure that employees and visitors would not face any breathing problems once the doors were opened to the public again.

This isn’t the first event of this kind to happen at an Apple Store. Similar events with iPhone batteries cased Apple stores in Switzerland and Spain to be temporarily evacuated earlier this year as well. Fortunately, there were no major injuries in any of the events, but some employees did suffer minor burns.

New Android Pie Update May Bring Back Essential Phone Notch Settings


The Essential Phone was one of the first Android-powered devices with a notched display. It came with the notch settings feature on Android Oreo which allowed users to customize who each app used the notch and status bar area. These settings were removed with the Android 9 Pie update that was recently released for the handset. The Essential Phone notch settings may return with a future Android Pie update.

The Essential Phone was also the first device other than Google’s Pixel handsets to get Android 9 Pie soon after the company announced its public release. The notch settings that were present in Oreo weren’t included in the Android 9 Pie update for this device.

An Essential representative has revealed on Reddit that the notch settings could return with a future update. “It will take a bit of work since it is not a 1:1 code transfer from 8.1 to 9.0 given google changed the notch logic so a portion of the code will have to be re-written,” he said.

The representative added that it likely won’t be possible with the next security release since the code will need to be re-tested for stability. At least Essential Phone owners can rest assured now that the settings which made the notch manageable on their handset will return in due course.
