Apple has issued a caution, advising consumers to stay away from sleeping next to their charging phones. Various studies have already emphasized the possible dangers and negative effects of sleeping next to your phone, highlighting the potential harm to users’ health and general wellbeing.
Apple, the maker of iPhones, has sent a strong and obvious warning to people who frequently fall asleep holding their smartphones, especially when the gadget is plugged up to a charger. The online user manual from Apple has this caution. The tech company specifically discourages charging iPhones on soft materials like blankets, cushions, or your body and recommends charging them only in well-ventilated spaces and on flat surfaces like tables. As stated in the caution, heat is produced while an iPhone is charging. It runs the risk of sparking fires or, in more serious situations, causing burns when this heat cannot be quickly expelled because of restricted confines. Therefore, one of the riskiest behaviours that smartphone users can engage in is to sleep with a charging phone under your pillow.
Don’t sleep on a gadget, power adapter, or wireless charger when it’s plugged into a power source, or put them beneath a blanket, pillow, or your body, according to the technology company’s main message. When in use or charging, keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a room with good ventilation.
