- Apple has given its promise to inquire about the death of a Chinese woman who was electrocuted when she used iPhone 5 to pick a call when it was in charge!
- The tragic happened to 23-year-old Ma Ailun's family!According to the report of Xinhau News Agency the incident is reported!
- Ma's sister wrote in her micro blogging site stating that "(I) hope that Apple Inc. can give us an explanation," . "I also hope that all of you will refrain from using your mobile devices while charging."
- Five years ago,apple had problems with iPhone chargers as it exchanged USB power adapters after fielding reports of electrical shocks. "We have received reports of detached blades involving a very small percentage of the adapters sold, but no injuries have been reported," Apple said at the time in a support document announcing the exchange program.
- Another incident that was reported was over the years of i Phones catching fire while recharging.
- Apple has public relations tribulations in China, most recently this spring when state-backed media lambasted the American company for allegedly providing Chinese customers sub-standard iPhone warranty services.
- In April, CEO Tim Cook publicly apologized for the policies and said that the company would change them to meet local demands.
- Apple's acknowledgement of the electrocution was unusual in itself: The company rarely comments on reported hardware problems, preferring instead to deliver a fix at some later date without linking the update to a specific complaint.
- The company's willingness to talk about Ma's death and its fast move to investigate may be traced to Apple's belief that China is a crucial market, as well as the problems it's had in maintaining its position in the country's consumer electronics market.
- This is warning to all the iPhone users and it is advised not to use phone when its in charge! Not only iPhone users this is applicable to everyone cellphone users!
