Body pain

Using any device for too long and repeating the same actions can result in injury.

Apple states: “When you perform repetitive activities such as typing, swiping, or playing games on iPhone, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.

“If you experience discomfort, stop using your iPhone and consult a physician.”

Repetitive strange injury is fairly common and can heal within a few weeks if you’re lucky.

Medical device interference

Apple also warns about using its tech around any medical devices that could be negatively impacted by iPhone.

Its iPhones and MagSafe accessories contain magnets and can emit electromagnetic fields that interfere with some devices like pacemakers and defibrillators.

Apple says: “Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device and whether you need to maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPhone and MagSafe accessories.

“Manufacturers often provide recommendations on the safe use of their devices around wireless or magnetic products to prevent possible interference.

“If you suspect iPhone and MagSafe accessories are interfering with your medical device, stop using these products.”

Apple also stresses that your iPhone shouldn’t be considered a medical device in itself and you shouldn’t use it to diagnose or treat yourself.
