Birmingham Mail says that Apple had the charging cable near the hall, but its adapter was from a third-party company. However, it has been said from the hall that their charging adapter was from Apple.
Currently, Apple is trying to find out the cause of the fire. The company has advised users to follow safe charging standards. The company has also created a special page for this. One point in the company’s standard is that users do not charge their iPhones or other Apple devices in places where there is moisture or areas that are not ventilated. This may cause the charger to overheat or cause a short circuit due to moisture. Apart from this, we would advise you to always use original cable or charging adapter sold by the company.
