The iPhone 12 is the most popular smartphone model currently available for purchase worldwide, the Apple company enjoying great success for many of the models that are on sale, but behind the story there is also an extremely dangerous problem for people.
Doctors in the USA have discovered that people who have implemented pacemakers together with defibrillators must be extremely careful how they use iPhone 12 phones because the devices can be very seriously affected by the magnets in the phones.
The iPhone 12 has magnets in the case to attach to MagSafe chargers, but doctors say they disable the defibrillators in pacemakers if the phones are placed too close to people's chests, which is an extremely serious health problem.
The very serious problem occurs if the iPhone 12 is placed directly on the chest, or even in the chest pocket of a shirt, jacket, blouse, etc., and people do this without knowing, but it seems that this can seriously endanger their lives in danger.
"When I brought the iPhone close to the patient's chest, the defibrillator was disabled. I saw on the external defibrillator programmer that the device functions were suspended and remained suspended. When I moved the phone away from the patient's chest, the defibrillator immediately returned to its normal function. We were all amazed. I assumed the magnet would be too weak in a phone to trigger the defibrillator's magnetic switch.
We believe our findings have profound, wide-ranging implications for people who live with these devices every day, who will unthinkingly put their phone in their shirt pocket or top pocket or coat – unaware that their defibrillator may be causing them or the pacemaker to function in a way that could be lethal."
