July 13, 2013, one on the Phone 5 microblogging attracted tens of thousands of user comments and forwarding, a 23-year-old flight attendant to use the iPhone 5 phone is charging, unfortunately died of electric shock.Apple responded deeply saddened by his death for the user and will investigate this matter thoroughly. However, low-voltage DC really cause such events, it also raised the parties to discuss, or even suspect that this is probably the false news.
Weibo user named "M small quiet 1128," the user issued a document that she was only 23 years old sister Ma Ailun use the Apple iPhone 5 is charging mobile phone, unfortunately lethal electric shock. Ma Ailun is a Southern Airlines flight attendants worked, upcoming wedding next month, in July 11, 2013 evening with the iPhone 5 is being charged called and suddenly a strong current down, the So the girl never left. According to the forensic identification of the deceased neck obvious signs of shock, and death because "electrocuted."
Indeed phone battery voltage is only 3.7V, the rated voltage of the charger is 4.2V, the battery itself can produce very little current. Charging for the use of mobile phones by electric shock, only two possibilities, either the charging circuit is damaged, the charger aging, voltage up to 220V of electricity generated by a strong current of public breakdown charger directly to the body through the phone, the user is equivalent to touching 220V power, lethal electric shocks; the other is on the phone just to have high-voltage current through, if it happens during electrical storms, cell phone signals are electromagnetic propagation, on the current attractive, very high voltage lightning occurs, the resulting instantaneous current also very large, if the moment of lightning in the call connected mobile phone, the current through the body to the ground, the heat generated by high-energy high-current is fatal to humans, but experts said the probability of occurrence of such a situation is very small.
Generally the body can withstand the voltage limit of 36V, but this is not absolute, for the current degree of sensitivity varies, some human contact voltage 10V current produced by the body would be adverse effects and call phone close to the body location of the temple, once the shock may also lead to death.
July 14, 2013, Apple China said in a statement on the matter deeply saddened by Apple, to extend my deepest condolences to the bereaved families, Apple conducted a thorough investigation on the matter, and to fully cooperate with relevant bodies.
To remind mobile phone users, mobile phone charging, try not to use, and in the purchase of mobile phone chargers when buying quality standards. But this news because with all kinds of doubts, it was also suspected in an apple will have to fight against fake news.
