2 Dead Using Iphone

[Betting Bangarraju]

One girl was apparently electrocuted while using her iPhone which was on charging and another man went into a coma while using his iPhone 4 which was charging.

The [url="http://crossmap.christianpost.com/news/iphone-electrocuted-chinese-bride-to-death-counterfeit-iphone-5-charger-the-cause-apple-under-investigation-3863"]first case[/url] was of a woman from the western region of China, Xinjiang, Ma Ailun, who died while using her iPhone which was on charge. The woman apparently died by electrocution. The news broke when Ailun’s sister wrote about her sister’s death on popular microblogging site Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, and urged readers to not use their iPhones while they were charging.

Just days after that, a Beijing man [url="http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/07/19/chinese-man-reportedly-electrocuted-by-iphone-4-and-third-party-charger"]fell into a coma[/url] after allegedly inserting a third-party charger into his iPhone 4, and then using it.
the person’s coma was traced back to the use of a third-party charger. It’s fair to conclude at this point, that the charger itself was defective, because of two reasons: it’s an incredibly uncommon occurence, with almost no other cases being reported. And secondly, the electricity flow from a charger should never be enough to electrocute a person to death. Even while charging, phones charged from a USB cord have a supply voltage of just 5 volts, which would be harmless. An electric shock would have to be a minimum of 36 volts to be felt by a human.
