I thought that was bizarre. First he makes a video about his dock, but doesn't have his dock handy. Then his wife decides to take a nap on camera behind him? wtf?I tell you, I got a shock!

I have just experienced this first hand. I was sitting on my sofa, just wearing loose cotton pyjamas, when i touched my iphone it gave me a painful shock. This problem has not abated yet, this is not a discharge of static as if I touch my phone again it continues to shock me. This is a continuous, mild but painful shock. Taking my phone to the genius bar to see what's what.

Hilarious video.
iPhone 4 is also a remote explosive device that can be triggered wirelessly by al-Queda terrorists. 3 million lives are at stake.
I guess Osama Bin Liner never got that memo
.You're all being too harsh
The emphasis was on the fact he was wearing rings. Didn't you know iPhone 4 knows when you were jewellery so it can know when to conduct electricity round the aluminium steel frame? I think it was the 'one last thing' feature when it was announced.

Yup, because one guy supposedly experienced this phenomenon on a phone that's been out for over a year and not other iPhone owners have been reporting this to any level of credibility. Makes perfect sense to believe this.
The iPhone Can Give You A Shock
I bought an iPhone 4s about a month ago and have noticed every time I have it in my purse and I'm pushing a shopping cart in the grocery store (or Walmart or Target, etc.), I start receiving shocks to my hands. Have decided to start leaving it in the car when I go shopping and I anticipate using a shopping cart.

I have managed to shock myself with my iphone a few times.
I have a habit of tapping my bottom lip, at work I do this with a pen, but at home a couple of times I have tapped my ip4 on my lip whilst plugged in and shocked myself. I believe it is only on the headphone jack and when my list is moist.
I have not complained or anything as I believe this is my own stupidity and apple did not intend for it to be used this way.

I got a static electricity shock while about to pick up my iPhone 4S. I have to admit, it did feel stronger then other static electricity shocks I've felt.
I'm not sure if it had headphones connected or connected to the USB adapter. I frankly don't remember, and didn't make a big deal about. (Well maybe the first few seconds and told co-workers sitting next tome) And they didn't care lol

I got a nasty shock off my 4s a week or two back. It's just static electricity zapping into the steel frame and into the charger so far as I can tell, and I was well loaded up with static just then - I was getting into bed, the room was dark, and as I put my fleece sweater down I saw a load of sparks as my hand brushed it. Then I went to check my alarm was set on the iPhone and got a nice shock.
