According to Reuters, Apple is looking into the death of a woman in China who was talking on her iPhone 5 while it was charging and was electrocuted. Apple had this to say:
“We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family. We will fully investigate and cooperate with authorities in this matter,” Apple said in an e-mail.
Apple declined to comment on details, such as whether this was an isolated case.
This came to light when the victim’s sister Tweeted about this and the post went viral. I think at this point, it’s important to not rush to any conclusions until Apple does a full investigation. China is a market that Apple wants to play in, thus you can fully expect them to be transparent about this investigation.
