On April 28, Apple published an important safety warning on the "Important Security Information for iPhone" support page, reminding users that they should never place their iPhone under a pillow or body for charging.
Apple has made it clear that users should not place their iPhones, power adapters, or wireless chargers under blankets, pillows, or bodies while sleeping. This warning emphasizes the importance of keeping the device ventilated during charging, especially at night or when charging for long periods of time. Apple also specifically reminds users to be more cautious if they have a condition that affects their perception of heat.
In the Android camp, the development of fast charging technology has made the charging power reach the 100-watt level, and users can quickly fully charge the mobile phone in a short time, reducing the need for charging at night. However, Apple's iPhone 15 series, even the latest, has a peak charging power of only about 27W. Therefore, many users are still accustomed to charging their phones at night.
Apple also specifically mentions that when the charging cable is connected to a power source, users should avoid prolonged skin contact with the charging cable and connector to prevent possible discomfort or injury. In addition, the warning also mentions that users should avoid sleeping or sitting on the charging cable or connector.
Using a damaged cable or charger, or charging in a humid environment, carries the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPhone and other property. Therefore, Apple advises users to use original or certified accessories and ensure a safe charging environment.
This safety warning from Apple reminds all iPhone users that proper charging habits are essential to keep their personal safety and devices intact. With the development of technology and the formation of user habits, manufacturers and consumers should continue to pay attention to and improve the awareness of charging safety.
