Sun 27 August 2023:
Apple has issued a warning to users to avoid charging their iPhones while sleeping and to avoid sleeping near to gadgets while charging. The tech titan has warned of the possibility of discomfort and harm as a result of this practice.
To mitigate these risks, the company urges customers to exercise common sense and avoid situations where the skin comes into direct contact with the device or charger. The advisory explicitly states not to sleep on or place devices, power adapters, or wireless chargers beneath blankets, pillows, or the body while connected to a power source. Instead, users are encouraged to keep iPhones, power adapters, and wireless chargers well-ventilated when charging or in use.
Furthermore, Apple extends a cautionary note to users with physical conditions that might hinder their ability to sense heat against the body. The advisory also mentioned avoiding the use of third-party chargers that might not deliver the appropriate voltage safely for iPhone charging. Damaged cables, which could pose risks during charging, are also discouraged.
The advisory includes guidelines such as refraining from using power adapters in wet environments and avoiding connection or disconnection of the power adapter with wet hands.
The primary message directly conveyed by the technology company is as follows: “Don’t sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s connected to a power source. Keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.”
