??? Like the way the coroner is sending a report to apple ,WTF are they supposed to do ?

Stick a big sticky sticker on the front of the phone covering it completely that wont come off, that says...

"Do not plug into the mains charger if you are in the bath/swimming pool/sea/river/lake/pond/puddle as you might electrocute yourself"

There, that should do  ::) ;D ;D

Ask the purchaser if they understand how dangerous electricity can be. If they can't explain(a simple answer like it can hurt you would be enough), sell them a lollipop instead of the shiny thing.

Somewhat ignoring the point that it wasn't the charger that killed him. It was the extension lead. But let's not let facts get in the way of a good opportunity to mention a brand name.  ::)

Seeing how there is mains leccy in the charger.....whos to know if water in the charger didn't kill him or the extension lead...so it could have been the charger as it was obviously plugged into the extension lead..... ;)

But either way....you just effing dumb if you take an electrical device into the bath that's plugged into the mains..... ::)

It wasn't a phone thet he had but an essential (for him) piece of survival equipment - an endless tape loop saying "Breathe in; breathe out; breathe in; breathe out....."

The mains side of the transformer is within two inches of the extension lead socket... if that's in the water the socket is not far behind and falling... Nothing to do with Apple.  Bit like saying John Doe was killed in a collision with a pink teddy bear... (which was strapped to the front of a bin lorry doing 50mph... but don't mention that.. it was all the teddy bear's doing)  ::)

Fact is we seem to have a generation or two that don't take responsibility for their own well being, they just trust pretty much any and all new technology with zero actual thought.

Zombies walking across roads with eyes down glued to phones

Zombies walking along pavement who expect others to get our of the way to avoid collision.

Total trust in SatNav and Google Maps

Actually, total trust in Google everything, Oh and Apple everything

Getting totally wasted on Friday & Saturday nights and expecting to be safe

The list could get extremely long !

People need to take responsibility for themselves and that's not happening

Spot on, Mister Rog. What ever happened to "With Rights comes Responsibility"?
