`About the magnets inside iPhone 12, iPhone 12
`mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and
`MagSafe accessories
`
`iPhone contains magnets as well as components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. All MagSafe
`accessories (each sold separately) also contain magnets—and MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Duo
`Charger contain radios. These magnets and electromagnetic fields might interfere with medical devices.
`
`Though all iPhone 12 models contain more magnets than prior iPhone models, they're not expected to
`pose a greater risk of magnetic interference to medical devices than prior iPhone models.
`
`Medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to
`magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep
`your iPhone and MagSafe accessories a safe distance away from your device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm
`apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging). But consult with your physician and
`your device manufacturer for specific guidelines.
`
`Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device
`and whether you need to maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPhone
`or any MagSafe accessories. Manufacturers often provide recommendations on the safe use of their
`devices around wireless or magnetic products to prevent possible interference. If you suspect iPhone or
`any MagSafe accessories are interfering with your medical device, stop using your iPhone or MagSafe
`accessories.

`Guide.
