Considering a report I just watched on Canadian TV news, one can cause pandemonium by just replacing a battery with one not meant for the device.
Yesbut/nobut: my phone was new 2016, and I have been very luddite how I use it and what I load on it, and still the various stakeholders keep forcing various updates. Apparently a code was sent to the pagers prior to explosion. I don't have explosives or little metal spheres, but there is other shattery stuff that would scare me pretty thoroughly. I can see sending a code generally into the population generating a lot of fear. One oopsie, y'know?
