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.

And why to pronounce Apple? The apple sweats them go!
If you stop to read the article a bit, it says: "the young man was manipulating his iPhone 5 that was charging through an unofficial accessory, the real cause of this tragedy"
It is not Apple's fault that a person uses a dubious quality charger.
Why should they pronounce because it has been stuck using an unofficial accessory?
Tonight you can sleep well, you've already released the bullshit of the day.
What Apple has to do is lower the prices of all its products and accessories so that people do not buy those shoddy things.
Well, lower your prices. I think there are other cheaper equipment that you can buy
It's the stupidest reasoning I've ever heard, it's like you buy a Ferrari and put fake wheels on it. And when they explode for speed the reasoning is it is Ferrari fault for charging the expensive wheels.
MMmmmm and then why do they complain?
You know Apple does not just have 3 people making an IPHONE, it has to have profits to earn them $$, to pay those who work, plus the transfer of the merchandise, plus the costs that the product costs.
Lowering prices would lower the salary of workers, among other things.
Also, if you are going to buy an iphone for 14k MXN and you cannot buy an original cable, what are you buying it for?
It is as if you have a car and you do not have to pay for the possession, gasoline, tuning. And you say, lower the gas station, that there are no tenure payments and lower the tuning price.
And if Apple spreads rumors so that we buy its accessories, always in China
Of course, Apple invents that a Chinese woman has been electrocuted and a Chinese is admitted with a serious prognosis because he was electrocuted ... that gives BAD FAME TO THE PRODUCTS, even if they are not original, surely many people blame the iPhone. ., apart from the fact that I doubt it is legal ...
Apple is teaching the Chinese a lesson to stop copying things and end accessory piracy
Being back in China, it makes me think that not only was the accessory of dubious quality. Perhaps, given the coincidence, the quality of the electrical installations of these users should be studied.
Here in Spain, wet and barefoot, you put your fingers in the socket, it gives you a shock and the differential jumps. We no longer talk about anything shorting you out.
Instead of persecuting Apple that they persecute the Chinese electrical companies or their authorities that allow according to ...
Have you tried it? LOL. But it's true, why didn't the leads jump?
As long as the house is grounded if the differential will jump, but as long as it does not have, you will stay stuck both here and in China.
The issue is that it has happened with an Apple product that is why so much fuss.
I have a Chinese friend and there they say that two Europeans have been electrocuted for using fake chargers. But you do not see that it is for you to continue buying their accessories.
Honestly, if in China they are able to adulterate their own cement for bridges and roads by putting garbage bags in it and thus save in quantity (not quality, because then those construccinoes sink, Google it if not), what can we expect from consumer products? And as proof, what comes to us in the Chinese bazaars that most are by-products of such minimal quality that after a short time they already give problems (and I have found everything already, even adhesive stops whose adhesive does not stick !!).
So okay, it coincided with the fact that it was an iPhone that was charging. But if it became a Galaxy SIV, the same would have happened. Or if it turns out to be an unknown Chinese mobile, the same would have happened. The difference is that WE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN because since the magic word did not appear in the headline, nobody would be interested.
Mr. Manzanita fanboy, do not adorn your dirty mouth with the reputation of the s4 if it is better than the garbage that apple sells only for arrogant pimps and wolves you want power you want machine you want techno samsung se free vive.android to fuck by kul2 fan boy apple
Learn to write first, I was lazy to read your complete "opinion" that no one asked you to begin with
I share the background of the answer of "Incom2", but that is not my style and that was not really me. So I have registered the name, so that the same thing does not happen again.
Completely true, when an accident appears with the magic word Apple comes out in all media.
completely agree, this is known because "APPLE" appears in the middle, if not…. holy easter…. if I have seen you I do not remember.
The most advisable thing in any case is not to use the phone while it is recharging the battery. We must bear in mind that obviously cell phones use batteries and that these are radioactive in a low proportion of course but when recharging energy they are even more dangerous, the case of both young people is unfortunate but the only effect can not only be to die from being electrically operated. (a), there is also radiation exposure.
The truth is that since it is all aluminum, it is a better conductor of electricity than a product made of plastic, if when connecting an ipod touch to the computer it gave me a "touch" ... the truth is that they should do something to isolate the electricity in their products. ...
That "touch" may be due to the static electricity that we all have, not because it is aluminum.
I assure you that they are well insulated.
Ropes of ignorant
They want to go posh and then buy garbage because they put up with it. If I tell you about an iPhone you know you have to have money. Nobody count a Ferrari to put seat parts
don't make me laugh hahahahahahahahaha
Have money to pay for a 600 dollar cell phone? hahahahaha, you blew it, don riquillo!
I will be electrocuted shortly thanks to the original Apple cable that is peeling all over the place, especially around the connector area. It is exactly the same with the second cable, and more than one person I know has also happened. Very high quality materials yes, I think I am going to run to the store to buy another that lasts little more than a year. And, incidentally, I lick their pellets a little.
The truth is that the original cables are a bit bad, they all peel under the connector, it happened to me with the cable of the iphone4, 4s, and with the 5 it is also happening to me
I really don't understand you ... I don't know what the hell you will do with the cables, but since 2007 I have an iPhone, no original cables have ever "peeled" ... what's more, I have all the cables of the original iPhones and all in perfect condition. condition.
Maybe you think that because it is of good quality it can be bent, stepped on, wet, bite ... etc!
I am amused to imagine someone biting the cable of their iPhone while charging, I understand that it is an exaggeration, but I am amused by the mental image 😛
with normal use, without bending, and stepping on they peel.
Try to buy one from Belkin, I have one that cost me € 10 more than the official one but it is 8 months old and it is also 3 meters that always come in handy. The cable is ultra-resistant, I only tell you that it is about 7 mm in diameter ...
Well, the truth has not happened to me (although I do not doubt that it has happened to you and others), but in theory even if it peeled you at that end, at most it should stop working and not give you a blow of current that leaves you dumped 😛
I have original Apple cables in each of my iOS devices, in fact each one works today with its original cable, the one that came in the box, and they have never peeled or degraded in any way but mine brother-in-law, who is also original, has turned it into nothing, he had already lost all the surface layer near the connector that joins the adapter and now he has it covered with insulating tape, the answer for it to happen in one case and in another is not very simple: me I never put the cable in my pocket and less with the adapter connected, I have told him but he never listens to me.
For people who make a high consumption of the iPhone and therefore live exhausting their battery every single thing they should take my advice, or keep it in a separate briefcase or look for a retractable cable that fits into the pocket inside a rigid case, I do not know if it exists, so it doesn't have to bend in ways that degrade it.
PS I bought a cable and charger from Deal Extreme just to change color and it doesn't work well at all.
I do not know what you will do with the cable, the truth is, maybe you use it as an extrangler for the penis instead of a vibrating ring, I still have the cable from my old iPhone 3 and it is still perfect as the first day, the following ones are also perfect iPhone's up to 5 and all of them perfect.
And I wonder, is there not even a differential there so you don't get electrocuted? is that apple to blame?
Now an engineer will come and say "equipment protections are present in any electrical installation."
Or it will also say «The cause is not in the charger but in the electrical installation since the differential would jump and cut the current before a ground fault and the automatics would immediately start when detecting a short circuit or an overcurrent. The loader thing is impossible. "
I already said it at the time, a "charger for some" power supply has nothing to do with the primary part with the secondary one.
Example, open an old TV, take the high suction cup and find out what happens: a safe chest shot without any protection jumping with a safe trip to the other neighborhood.
But having such good engineers, why want other people's opinions, what the engineer says goes to mass.

The problem is with the spark plug of the campanolo friend !!
I had the same doubt as you, but I wanted the opinion of an Engineer.
In the end we already know what the problem is, tonight I will sleep better.
Thank you friend for clarifying or clarifying the doubt.
From what I see you are not an engineer, hahaha
First, there are people without studies or who are on the street with more talent than people with papers that claim to know what they have studied.
Second, you have no idea of my studies or knowledge to question or ridicule me.
Third, this does not go with you, I do not know what you do sticking your nose here, to be an engineer with the gift of intelligence it seems that you do not know what the conversation is about.
Fourth, from what I see you are ……. and in your house they don't know, hahaha,
Fifth, I no longer answer comments of this type, because to be an engineer I do not know where you have the neuron of reasoning and common sense.
It doesn't need to. The true Culture, with capital letters, is not in engineering, although you are as necessary as street sweepers or bricklayers, yes.
Go as if the originals were good ... the quality of the originals is terrible, after months the connector begins to break.
