Man electrocuted by iPhone

Featured Replies

I see in one of the main news papers another person has been electrocuted and died by an iPhone 5 when charging.

Is this something regular with this phone?

Thinking of buying a fruit machine (apple), but not sure anymore.

Actually, it was an iPhone 4.

The last one before that was an iPhone 5.

Could it be that the phone rang and he stuck the charger to his ear?

Sorry.

Sorry.

nope

Didn't read the news or heard any other details but seems hardly possible to be electrocuted by an iPhone? Dangerous voltages AFAIK are 36V (dry skin) or 24V (wet skin) and what the phone battery is? 3.6V? Now, getting electrocuted by a wall charger is a possibility but it's not the same thing as by the phone itself.
