Apple warns iPhone 12 users to keep their phones and MagSafe accessories 6 inches away from implanted medical devices like pacemakers
Apple is warning customers that its smartphones could interfere with medical devices.
In a notice published on Apple’s support page Saturday, the company warned users that iPhones contain magnets and radios that emit electromagnetic fields, both of which “may interfere” with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators.
The Saturday notice specifically warned users about “the magnets inside” all four iPhone 12 models as well as MagSafe accessories as iPhone 12 versions contain more magnets than prior versions.
