A young bride-to-be died from an electric
shock while chatting on an iPhone made by
Apple, her family claim.
Former air stewardess Ma Ailun collapsed
after answering her mobile as it charged.
The 23-year-old – due to wed next month –
was dead on arrival at hospital in northwest
China.
Her family in Xinjiang have handed her iPhone
5 and accessories to police.
Her sister said she had bought the phone and
charger from an official Apple store.
She said: “I want to warn everyone not to
make calls when a phone is charging.”
Announcing a probe, an Apple spokesman said:
“We are deeply saddened to learn of this
tragic incident and offer our condolences. We
will fully investigate and co-operate with
authorities.”
Mobile phones have a low electrical output of
three to five volts, substantially less than the
36 volts required for a shock.
But if the charger or circuit has a problem,
such as a broken wire, it can lead to a 220-volt
shock.
Hong Kong University professor Johnny Sin
Kin-on said: “There is a risk using an electrical
device while it is being charged, be it a shaver
or a phone.”
The iPhone 5 costs from £529, and is built for
the American computer giant in China.
But a huge industry of fakes has built up. In
Kunming city alone, 22 fake Apple stores have
been raided.
The shops can be so realistic that staff
actually believe they are working for Apple.

...I told my friend about this and he said he thought it was a "myth"..... All Nairalanders, please, warn your friends, relatives and loved ones about the dangers of answering calls while your phone is plugged(charging).....
