Bad news for Apple fans who are dependent on a pacemaker or defibrillator. According to the manufacturer, it can sometimes affect the vital implants.
Scientific study reveals problem
As a scientific study by Heart Rhythm Journal has brought to light, the latest iPhone appears to sometimes cause problems for people with vital implants. The origin of the problem is one of the new features offered by Apple’s latest generation of smartphones. The „Magsafe“ known from older MacBooks is namely on board with the iPhone 12 family. As with the MacBooks of the time, the feature is supposed to offer practical magnet functions in the smartphones as well. But here lies the core of the problem. Because of the magnetic mount, pacemakers and implanted defibrillators can be affected. For example, holding an iPhone 12 close to a Medtronic pacemaker can deactivate it. One does not even want to imagine the negative consequences.
Use only after safety precautions
