neo1911 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 A paid news by Apple? Aftermarket charger? Gas leak in the house? Such a sensationalist news. While I agree he did receive original charger but the question is was he using it at the time of incident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingFatMan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 ^ Reading is hard.. Yeah, and the original story for the people who got electrocuted from their iPhones recently said THEY were using original chargers too. Turned out they weren't. spikey_richie 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
