Apple immediately said it would investigate what happened.

Now, Apple is recommending on its Chinese site that customers only use genuine Apple USC power adapters.

Apple also provided a comprehensive overview of which devices are compatible with which accessories.

Earlier reports of the accident said 23-year-old Ma Ailun was using an iPhone 5, but CCTV concluded that it was a stainless steel iPhone 4.

It also turned out that Ailun may have been using a third-party charger, instead of one made by Apple. But another theory is that the charger she was using was meant for use outside of China.

The investigation is still underway.
