Apple Urges Users Not to Bed Down With Their iPhones While Charging

iPhone users have been warned not to use the device while charging, and it is also important to never hold the iPhone close to you while charging, which usually happens while sleeping. These warnings come with a number of fire incidents reported due to the location and manner in which the device is used.

Many people like to charge their phones while they sleep, but Apple says that can be dangerous and cause major incidents that can easily be avoided. The company mentions that keeping your phone charged while sleeping next to you can lead to electric shock, injury or even property damage.

The risk of charging while sleeping is obvious to everyone, but most people prefer to keep the device next to their head or under the pillow instead of putting it on the bedside table. Apple also has advice on the basics of charging a device, especially an iPhone.

The company is clear about using its standard chargers, asking people to avoid third-party chargers that may not provide the right amount of voltage to safely charge an iPhone. People are also advised to avoid using cables in poor condition or damaged cables, which can also be dangerous for charging.

Apple still emphasizes the need to buy the original charger and cable, which usually ensures that the iPhone charges the right way, which also ensures that the device does not experience any unwanted problems. Apple says that the use of “Made for iPhone” cables is designed to protect against such problems and also meet international safety standards, guaranteeing quality for users.

Although there are many third-party chargers and cables in the market that offer better performance than Apple’s own charger, the safety quotient of original units always works for people, especially when they spend a lot of money on an iPhone.
