A few days ago we learned of the sad event that in China a girl had died electrocuted while trying to answer a phone call you were receiving on your iPhone 5 whose battery was recharging. In this case, everything indicates that the charger was a fake and that the girl had just come out of the shower, which further aggravated the consequences of the electric shock.
It turns out that a similar case has transpired but this time it has affected a boy also of Chinese nationality. The scenario is exactly the same: the young man was manipulating his iPhone 5 that was charging through a unofficial accessory, the true cause of this tragedy.
Wu Jiantong, who was called the boy, is admitted to a hospital in Beijing and his prognosis is very serious. The electric shock left him sprawled on the ground and caused him to go into cardiac arrest. Immediately the health personnel arrived who took him to the hospital and although he breathes without the help of machines, your brain doesn't seem to recover of the injuries sustained.
In less than a month we have seen two cases of people who have been electrocuted for handling the iPhone 5 while carrying an unofficial accessory. Even if you do not use the charger that Apple provides, buy an accessory from brands that are certified by the apple since they are more expensive, but offer much more confidence than an accessory whose price rarely exceeds 3 euros.
Will Apple officially pronounce on these events in China? In the case of the deceased young woman they already said that they were investigating what happened.
