When the apple device is turned on for extended periods of time, the damaged back glass gets extremely hot and vapor/gas comes from inside the device itself. To the best of my knowledge, this is the result of damaged internal components (lithium battery). As time passes when this rare event occurs, the vapor is known to cause respiratory issues (breathing issues) cardiovascular issues (irregular heart rate) and mental distress is all associated with inhalation of these toxic vapors. With the windows rolled up in a vehicle, with a damaged apple device having no ventilation to exit the cabin of the vehicle, this rare event can very easily knock an individual unconscious.  There has been multiple occasions where I had to pull off to the side of the road, just to rehabilitate myself and allow the vehicle to air out. On 3/05/2026, I was admitted into a hospital in Madison County Kentucky to be checked out for symptoms I was experiencing, symptoms that occurred directly after an apple device malfunctioned. The vapors are near odorless and are not visible to the naked eye, this rare incident has occurred multiple occasions in the past resulting in sustainable injuries. The Apple device has no warning light, No warning message and no warning at all regarding this issue.
