I unplugged my charger and there were sparks?

So last night I was unplugging my phone charger (iPhone charger) and the end that goes into the phone swung down and touched the end that goes into the outlet. There was a popping sound and I saw sparks when I looked at the charger both ends were slightly melted and burnt. Do you think I could still use the charger and why would this happen

I advise you to get a new one you basically fried the wire have you ever touched the positive and negative wire on a car battery together it creates a spark so hot it melts the wire it could possibly create a spark so hot that it melts not only the rubber insulator it also melts the actual wire so it's best to get a new charger to avoid any potential problems

Buy from ebay not from apple.

  • Why does my iPhone shut off when it is unplugged? Well for a while now my iPhone has been shutting off when I unplug it. Sometimes the battery would just stay at a same percent for a while and I will take it off the charger and plug it back in, then my phone would shut off and come back on. That would keep the battery going up. Also lately, my phone has been receiving text messages really late and unless I turn my phone off I would get the messages late. Anyone has any suggestions?

  • My Iphone 4 shows a full charge while plugged into charged but empty when unplugged? I have an Iphone 4 that won't charge. However, when I plug it into the wall charger, computer or car charger it shows that it is 100% charged. Once I remove it from the charger (any of them) it shows the battery is empty. Has anyone had this problem and can you help with a solution? I have tried a full restore, hard reboot, etc. Nothing fixes this problem.
