The only thing I really want to be true (because the alternate theories are terrifying):

That a foreign government can explode your devices remotely somehow.
Suddenly a huge topic in a mobile device forensics Discord channel I am in.
General consensus is that it isn't possible on mass market mobile phones or tablet without modification. Pretty much all the internal components of Apple, Samsung, Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, and even some of the more popular Chinese brands like Huyawei and ZTE are pretty well documented and nothing in them could be exploited for anything more than shutting a device off. Maybe raise the heat which *might* cause a battery fire, but it's more likely the board would fry and the phone would die before the battery get hot enough. Battery fires are usually slow and not explosive unless in an airplane next to a bottle of gasoline....
