Various Apple products rely on many users in their daily lives and there are more than a billion devices currently active. Because Apple is keen on its users, it occasionally releases warning bulletins to alert users of the dangers that may involve the presence of its various devices near other devices. A few days ago, Apple published an article explaining the impact of its products on medical devices. Learn the details.
magnetic interference
Apple has warned that both the magnets used in many of its products or the electromagnetic field from the devices can interfere with implanted heart devices such as pacemakers andDefibrillatorsThe company advises that its devices be located at a safe distance from the medical device, and the safe distance is usually six inches (15 cm), and in the case of wireless charging, the distance is more than 12 inches (30 cm), as Apple suggests. If you think that its device interferes with your medical device, stop using it. its product and consult your doctor and the manufacturer of the medical device.
The warning covers a wide range of Apple products, where magnets are commonly used to secure charger connections and iPhone covers. The long list includes AirPods and their charging case, Apple Watch, some accessories, HomePod, iPad and some of its accessories, certain models of Beats headphones, and some Mac devices and accessories. And iPhone 12 with MagSafe and accessories.
Apple also notes that while its other devices contain magnets, they are not likely to interfere with medical devices and encourage anyone with questions or concerns to contact a doctor and medical device manufacturer immediately.
Studies have confirmed this
Apple's warning comes just weeks after the American Heart Association (AHA) published a study, and it was also preceded by a number of other studies from different sides -this linkIn which the effect of iPhone 12 on pacemakers and defibrillators was selected, and after placing the iPhone near devices that were implanted inside a living body and outside the body, they found that 11 out of 14 devices were exposed to interference.
“The magnets in the iPhone 12 can alter the timing of a pacemaker or deactivate the life-saving functions of a defibrillator,” said study leader Michael Wu and associate professor of medicine at Brown University. It interferes with implantable electronic devices in the heart.”
Do not put the iPhone in your left pocket
Study participants said that iPhone owners may inadvertently put themselves at risk by simply carrying the device in a seemingly harmless way, and noted that most of us put the smartphone in the shirt pocket, often on the side of the heart, and this could be dangerous if there was one of the electronic devices. implantable in the heart where the interference leads to asynchronous pacing or disruption of treatments for arrhythmias.”
As a result, the American Heart Association reminded the public that there are certain ways to use the iPhone while keeping your heart safe, including using the smartphone across from the implanted device and keeping the phone at least 10 cm away from the medical device.

I know about this information since the beginning of the mobile phone operation in Saudi Arabia, where I was working in one of the mobile companies, and after a call for 2 minutes and more, the mobile gets hot and the ear heats up until the mobile headset can pick up a key chain from the power of the magnet. Not to put the mobile phone in the left pocket, or even in the right one, because at that time and the lack of mobile towers causes the mobile phone to search for indications that it is hot to an alarming degree.
As for modern devices, including the iPhone, health precautions are high, but require caution, and with regard to its effect on the heart, a pediatric cardiologist told me that putting the mobile in the left pocket does not harm the heart at all.
Thank you for this nice topic
All modern phones have the same effect
Apple's bravery in the report deserves respect
You have to come every day and tell a lie
Most of the Apple products,,, a product term that includes the watch bracelet, phone case, and even applications,,, By the way, the SEE series can disable the pacemaker, and beware of the Airtag, it can cause a heart attack
My brother is a lie, and it was Apple, the owner of the devices, who issued the reports
Nice to admit, outside the topic and not far from it. Do the devices really have an effect on the body's electricity?
“As Apple suggests, if you think its device is interfering with your medical device, stop using its product and consult your doctor.”
Respect and appreciation 🔝🔝🔝🔝
Apple, as a respectable company, should raise or reduce the effects and interference with medical devices used to help humans.
It is the magnet on the iPhone 12, there is no benefit in it that should be canceled in the future,,,
And I don't think there are people who use it,, What's the point of the charger if you charge the iPhone within 3 hours 😅,, This is just a joke, like the wireless charging technology that they cracked our heads in and it has no benefit
The article is important, especially with reference to the sources.
@walid talk like honey and thanks to the editors
Absolutely unsuccessful title:
It is not only Apple devices that conflict with health devices, we must know that all types of mobile phones emit magnetic waves and may have an effect on healthy or unhealthy electronic devices - for example, on pacemakers - and it must be noted that since the circulation of hand-held mobiles (To distinguish it from the old mobiles that were placed in the car due to its large size and weight) At that time we used to hear the famous warning not to put the mobile in the left pocket of the shirt or jacket, and this warning I mentioned before the release of the iPhone about XNUMX years, or that the mobile should be kept away from the ear and head, in order to reduce Effects of radio waves that affect the brain.
The result that we reach is that every device that emits electromagnetic waves or even wireless radio waves (whatever its type or brand) may be harmful to one degree or another.
👍🏻
Thank you very much for this important information that I did not know 👍👏🌹
