The Post's source seems to be a June , which tracks Apple patent filings and awards, though it doesn't provide a link and searches on "flame retardant," "fireproof," "fire proof" and even "flame impedance" didn't turn up any hits at PA.

But there have been persistent reports of iPhone spontaneous combustions, and on a Dutch blogger's , to name just two examples. Then, there was the notorious July 2010 "iPhone 4 bursts into flames" post at Boy Genius Report, not long after Apple introduced iPhone 4. We did on that.

Still, it's not like the iPhone is made out of cardboard to begin with. And a fireproof mobile device probably doesn't rank high in Apple's understanding of "user experience."

"Where's iPhone 5?" becomes "Where's iPhone 5 being announced?"

You probably weren't even puzzling over this, silly you. But PC Magazine detected a gaping hole in iPhone 5 rumoring: Just where is Apple going to stage the iPhone 5 announcement? Especially since Oracle has booked Apple's two traditional venues?!
