Apple has issued an important safety warning urging users not to charge their iPhones or other Apple devices while sleeping in bed or placing them under pillows, blankets, or directly on soft bedding. The updated guidance, found in Apple’s official “Important Safety Information,” highlights the serious risks of overheating, electric shock, fire, and injury that can occur when devices are charged in poorly ventilated areas or kept in close contact with the body during sleep.
The company emphasizes that charging devices should always be placed on flat, hard, and well-ventilated surfaces, such as nightstands or desks, rather than on mattresses or bedding. Apple also cautions against sleeping on or near devices while they’re charging, pointing out that prolonged skin contact with charging cables or the device itself can lead to discomfort or even burns.
While charging your phone overnight is not inherently dangerous, Apple stresses that how and where you charge it makes a significant difference in safety. This updated warning aims to reduce the risk of overheating incidents that could potentially result in property damage or personal harm. Safety experts have backed the advice, calling it a crucial step in preventing accidents related to improper charging practices.
