Do we stop flying in aircraft from one city to another because some aircraft have crashed of course not, there is no such thing as 100% safety so understand this and use your iPhone intelligently .

EveryoneKnows

All modern pacemakers are supposed to be shielded.

That's great, but try to kindly enforce that in a busy ED!

Maybe we could just be happy plugging our phones in for the time being? I’ve owned 3 wireless capable phone but never charged wirelessly once. Also, this won’t end up being just an Apple thing, they’re just the ones that decided to mention it.

Wow just wow!

Call it 8 inches

Why is iphone just saying this, it means they have endangered people's life.

I foresee a class action suit.

There is a widespread worry that 5G will cause erectile length and thickness to shrink dramatically! The opposite happens to women who come in contact with 5G! Many report vaginal sag which affects the ability to walk in high heels! Experts say wear a mask around these areas!

This...isn't new. I've had a pacemaker/defibrillator for 13 years and was told all of this when it was first implanted. Is my cardiologist just way ahead of his time or something?

And the real reason behind the Covid hoax really being 5G rears its ugly head

Scary

Junk

What is about cochlear implants?

Wow, that sounds very dangerous. I'm surprised we're only hearing about this now.

This isn't new. When I was a nurse in 2005, they warned about cell phones and ICDs. Signs were posted 'keep cell phones 6ft away from medical devices'

And 6 inches from your ear so you dont get brain cancer.

'May interfere'

When I had a defibrillator surgically installed in my chest the surgeon advised me to put *NO* mobile phone in my left breast pocket. Not brand-specific. And that was 5 years ago.

بيطلعولي حاجات من الموبايل

Mairi_Mackenzie Same goes with all the wireless charging devices. Hence no phones are allowed into theatre rooms.

'Hang on honey, my heart is skipping a beat.'

Could have told us iPhone 3 ago.

Try telling relatives and visitors that!! 😖

1. Hold your phone up to your ear. 2. Place your index finger across the 6' mark on a ruler and rest it on the bottom edge of the phone. 3. Look down. 4. Your phone is pretty much exactly 6' from your heart. (5. Pacemakers are mounted even higher on your chest.)

And they are just now informing ppl

Bad news for Apple....all those lawsuits are coming

Reminds me of the time my uncle passed away (who no one in the family liked). A week after he was buried the company that made his pacemaker wanted it back. My father told them to get a shovel.

SkyNet 🤣

When are we going to find out they cause cancer?

Apple should’ve warned us about y’all being fake news

Give new meaning to ...... I ❤ Apple

Do you think this is what people really need right now?

Ban the 'Bad-Apple'! WITHOUT HESITATION!

Why hasn’t Joe Biden fixed this?
