The company insists it's not a malfunction, but rather static electricity.

Apple says it can happen in dry or windy areas, when jogging, or when taking the device in and out of your pocket.

The warning says you can avoid getting shocked by using hand lotions, an anti-static spray or wearing clothing made of natural fibers.
