23-year-old Ma Ailun had been a flight attendant with China Southern Airlines and had been planning to get married in August. Her family believes she received a shock when trying to answer a call on her iphone handset while it was charging.
Her sister said she had bought the iPhone 5 shortly after it launched in the country in December and had been using it with the original charger at the time of the incident.
“We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family,” Apple said in a statement.
“We will fully investigate and co-operate with authorities in this matter.”
The China Consumers Associations had previously reported a man had been killed in 2010 while making a phone call using a handset connected to the mains with an unauthorised charger.
