In today’s digital age, charging smartphones overnight is common, but Apple has issued a warning about its risks. Charging iPhones in poorly ventilated areas, like under pillows or blankets, can cause overheating, potentially leading to fire or injury. Prolonged skin contact with warm charging cables or devices also poses risks.

Apple emphasizes maintaining proper ventilation while charging and avoiding placing devices or chargers under blankets, pillows, or your body. Additionally, they recommend using official “Made for iPhone” chargers to prevent fire hazards from substandard third-party products.

Firefighters echo these warnings, noting the dangers of overnight charging while asleep. For safety, charge your phone while awake and vigilant. Following Apple’s guidelines can help avoid overheating, fires, and injuries, ensuring safer charging practices.
