    Apple are in the news again (for all the wrong reasons). The moral - don't answer your iPhone 5 whilst it's charging - you may get electrocuted

    Umm, that's not what that article says at all. The incident is still under investigation.

    It could be any number of things as mentioned in the article that water could have got into the cable, faulty electrics in the house. It doesn't mention but if phones are dropped or damaged and metal on metal inside that are not supposed to touch when plugged into the mains can cause electrocution.

    All we know is a girl got electrocuted and she was using her phone at the time. The report says nothing else as its under investigation and too early to tell. The girls brother is blaming apple but it doesn't mean it's true, his sister has died and he is grieving and needs someone to blame
