蘋果機觸電疑涉山寨充電器 (09:31)
空姐疑用蘋果手機觸電亡案，央視畫面顯示死者所用iPhone 4兩側有灼燒痕，充電器非蘋果原裝貨。
內地傳媒引述專家指，懷疑女死者使用山寨充電器，未做好電路保護，導致強大電流直接進入手機。
內地央視播出的新聞畫面顯示，死者所用手機是iPhone4，並非金屬外殼的iPhone5，手機兩側有明顯灼燒痕，手機充電器非蘋果大陸原裝充電器。
央視報道稱，警方在現場發現，死者身體多處被電擊灼傷，身邊的iPhone4手機正在充電，但手機的數據線、充電器及插線板都完好無損，手機也能正常開機。《新京報》報道，記者注意到，從央視播出的畫面來看，死者使用的充電器，並非蘋果大陸原裝iPhone手機充電器。
報道引述電訊專家項立剛表示，從目前情形看，有可能是山寨充電器的問題。「山寨充電器有可能偷工減料，電容的質量、保護電路沒有做好，導致充電器的電容被擊穿，220V的交流電直接進入手機電池裏。但也有一種可能。我們知道台灣、日本用110V的電壓，中國用220V。如果充電器是按照110V電壓做的，其容納電壓的能力會相對弱一些。有可能會出現擊穿的狀況。」
據一名手機廠商人士說，手機充電時，充電器會將220V的電壓降低到5V左右，而這個電壓遠遠低於人體能夠承受的36V，因此即使手機漏電，也不會致人電擊身亡。如果充電器出現故障，或者電路安全保護出現了問題，正在充電過程中的充電器，確實有可能將220V的電壓直接傳送到手機電池裏，導致人體被電擊。

Apple shock suspected copycat charger (9:31)
Stewardess suspect case with Apple phone electrocution death, the deceased CCTV screen display used on both sides of a burning iPhone 4 marks, charger non-Apple original goods.
Mainland media quoted experts refer suspected the woman to use the copycat charger circuit protection is not good, resulting in a strong current directly into the phone.
Mainland CCTV news broadcast footage showed the deceased using a mobile phone is iPhone4, and non-metallic enclosure iPhone5, phone burning marks on both sides of a clear, mobile phone charger non-Apple original charger continent.
CCTV reported that police at the scene found that the deceased suffered multiple electric shock burns around iPhone4 phone is charging, but the phone's data cable, charger and plug wire boards are intact, the phone starts up normally. "Beijing News" reported, the reporter noted, CCTV broadcast images from the point of view of the deceased on the charger, not the original Apple iPhone mobile phone charger continent.
Xiang Ligang telecommunications experts quoted said that from the current situation to see that there may be problems copycat charger. "copycat charger may cut corners, the quality of the capacitor, the protection circuit is not good, leading to the breakdown of a capacitor charger, 220V AC directly into the cell phone battery inside, but there is also a possibility and we know that Taiwan, Japan, with a voltage of 110V , China with 220V. 110V voltage if the charger is made in accordance with its ability to accommodate the voltage will be relatively weak. there may be a breakdown of the situation. "
According to a mobile phone manufacturers say, cell phone charger, the charger will reduce the voltage to 5V 220V or so, and this voltage is much lower than the human body can withstand 36V, so even if the phone leak, it will not shock causing death. If the charger fails, or circuit security problems, the charger is charging process, it is indeed possible to 220V voltage directly to the phone battery inside, causing the body to be an electrical shock.

Summary:
1) The woman was using an iPhone 4, not an iPhone 5
2) She used an unauthorised ("shanzai" = counterfeit) charger
That's why her family is not suing Apple.
