I mean, the page itself states that the battery just expands and poses no safety risk.

Even if you were affected, it wouldn’t explode in your face.

Metal unibody (or thereabouts) - much sturdier than smartphones that "explode".
LiPo Batteries expand because they're being charged/discharged incorrectly. Batteries burn because they're being charged/discharged incorrectly.

"poses no safety risk" is a fairly high standard when discussing incorrect battery management.

And after the whole exploding Samsung Galaxy Note thing, and Apple’s extremely high status, I doubt they’re taking chances here when making such a claim.
