Medical Doctors Underline Potential Risk of iPhone 12 Interference With Pacemakers
Curious about potential interference with electrical devices, Dr. Singh and his colleagues took an iPhone 12 Pro and passed it over the chest of a patient with an implantable defibrillator. Although Apple has long acknowledged that its iPhone 12 lineup and MagSafe accessories may interfere with medical devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators, it released additional guidance for people who use medical devices on Saturday.
The message: Keep your iPhone 12 and MagSafe accessories a safe distance away from your medical device. In a support article, spotted by MacRumors , Apple explains that the iPhone 12 contains magnets as well as components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields The company also stated that all its MagSafe accessories contain magnets as well, and that its MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Duo Charger contain radios. These magnets and electromagnetic fields may interfere with medical devices, Apple said.
But consult with your physician and your device manufacturer for specific guidelines. They can even help the heart start beating again if it suddenly stops. Pacemakers , meanwhile, use electrical pulses to help hearts beat at a normal rate and rhythm and also help heart chambers beat in sync so that the heart can pump blood more efficiently. Apple states that users should consult with their physicians and medical device manufacturers for information on their particular devices.

Users should ask whether they need to maintain a safe distance of separation between their medical devices and their iPhone or MagSafe accessories. Apple repeated this advice in the safety information section of its iPhone User Guide. This is not meant to bash the iPhone 12 or MagSafe accessories specifically. ICDs can be easily activated and deactivated by sources with magnetic fields, including Fitbits or vape pens. However, this is important information to consider when choosing a new phone or when using it, especially for those who rely on medical devices to remain healthy.
