A Chinese woman has been killed by her iPhone, the 23 year old died
after she was electrocuted when she answered her iPhone. The phone was
plugged into the wall charging at the time, when the lady named as Ma
Ailun answered the call.
According to Ma Ailun brothers, the handset had been bought from an
official iPhone store and was not a fake device. He said that the device
had been to Chinese authorities for examination. There are many fake
handsets and chargers on sale in China, with many faults which could be
dangerous.
Many people were alerted to the former flight attendants death who
was due to be married later on in the year when her sister posted a
warning on the internet:
‘Ma collapsed and died, while using her charging iPhone I want to
warn everyone else not to make phone calls when your mobile phone is
recharging,’
The news spread like wildfire across the internet, which is thought
to be another blow to Apples reputation in China and the world after
numerous bad press articles.
There are a number of theories on why poor Ma Ailun was electrocuted
through her iPhone, including a faulty charger, poor wiring in her home
and excessive temperatures damaging wires, although death by
electrocution from a charging phone is extremely rare.
Apple said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened to learn of this
tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family. We will
fully investigate and co-operate with authorities in this matter.”
