iPhone maker Apple has issued warnings about some of the risks of charging the phone. This warning is especially given to those who sleep next to the phone while it is charging.
According to Apple, sleeping next to the charging cable may cause fire, electric shock, injury or damage to the phone. Customers are therefore advised to charge the phone in an area with adequate ventilation. Charging the phone in the open can avoid potential risks.
Some of Apple's other warnings are:
• Do not place a charged phone under a pillow or blanket. Because the phone gets very hot while charging. Failure of this habit can lead to mortal danger.
• Do not use third party chargers. A charger other than the one recommended for the device may be used. In this regard, Apple has said that users should refrain from third party chargers. Especially those cheap products that don't meet the quality standards. They should only use chargers that are manufactured and recommended for iPhone and that comply with international safety regulations.
• Power adapters and cables with USB 2.0 or higher standards can charge the iPhone, but must comply with safety regulations. Also, do not charge near any liquid, water, and damaged or discarded chargers should be discarded immediately.
This warning from Apple is very important for phone users. We can protect ourselves and our families from danger by taking precautions while charging the phone.
