Cardiologists called iPhone 12 dangerous for health

Specialists from the Henry Ford Heart and Vascular Institute in the USA they studied the effect of iPhone 12 on a person. One of the authors of the experiment, cardiologist Gurjit Singh, said that the expert group was stunned by the behavior of the device.

Yes, doctors conducted iPhone 12 Pro over the chest of a patient with an implantable defibrillator. In the process, the built-in medical equipment turned off. When the experts removed the smartphone from the chest, the defibrillator immediately started working.

In this way, the experts confirmed that the magnet in the iPhone, which is necessary for the correct charging of the device, affects the operation of implanted pacemakers and defibrillators. Previously, this fact was recognized by Apple itself, and other doctors also claimed this.

“We assumed that the magnet that is in the iPhone is too weak to affect the medical device,” Singh clarified.

He explained that built-in cardiac devices have a magnetic switch so that, if necessary, doctors can non-invasively influence the operation of the equipment. The authors of the study emphasize that smartphones can harm people with heart disease. Doctors advise owners of implanted pacemakers and defibrillators not to carry iPhone 12 series phones in the top pocket of a coat or shirt and not to place the device on the chest.
