Australian air safety officials have launched an investigation¹ after an airline passenger's Apple iPhone apparently² caught fire during a flight.

澳大利亚航空安全官员正在进行一项调查——一位乘客的苹果手机在飞行途中突然起火。

Local airline Regional Express said the phone began glowing red and emitting dense³ smoke after the plane landed in Sydney on Friday.

Flight attendants had to douse⁴（弄湿） the phone, which has since been handed to investigators⁵.

Officials said they would be consulting Apple as part of their inquiry⁶.

"We have no previous records of iPhones undergoing spontaneous self-ignition," a spokesman for the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) told AFP news agency.

"We do have the phone, it's in our custody⁷, and we will be undertaking⁸ a technical examination of it."

Apple said it was looking forward to working with the investigators.
