Apple Warns iPhones, MagSafe Chargers Should be Atleast Six Inches Away from Pacemakers and other Magnetic Devices!

Apple has reissued another statement and Support Document that details for people to keep magnetic devices like pacemakers and defibrillators away from its devices, especially the iPhone and MagSafe Charger to avoid damage. While it is common knowledge not to keep a smartphone and magnets together (even cards), some people forget and place it within dangerous proximity with the other.

According to Heart Rhythm Journal's recently published document, new smartphones including the iPhone 12, have increased risk against the devices that are used for health purposes, including the heart's technology. The doctors were only warning for the increased risks as magnets included on smartphones are stronger compared to older devices.

Apple has issued a safe distance of at least six inches from the device and the iPhone 12 at all times, especially as it is wirelessly charging with MagSafe, which makes use of the magnets, active with energy. Moreover, the company also wants to add that the safest distance is at least a foot's length, which is 12 inches, or the length of one ruler while charging wirelessly.
