The stewardess, Ma Ailun, was said to have been saving up for the iPhone5 for a year. She was due to have her wedding day on August 8, which makes the accident all the more tragic.

Although the story has been picked up by some major media organisations, details have yet to emerge as to exactly how this happened. In 2011, 25-year-old Dhanji Damor was electrocuted in India when he used a shanzhai phone from China when it was on the charger.

But according to Phone Arena, recognized cell phone manufacturers around the world rigorously test their products to ensure that they’re safe to use.

Apple has yet to issue a statement.
