Published: January 27th, 2021 Apple issues a crucial warning about pacemakers, Montreal businessman Mark Pathy is preparing for the first private flight to space, and Forbes announces Canadaâs top employer. Itâs all the tech news thatâs popular right now. Welcome to Hashtag Trending! Itâs Wednesday, January 27, and Iâm your host Baneet Braich. Apple has an important message for everyone: Keep iPhones six inches away from pacemakers. The smartphone giant says that iPhones contain magnets and radios that emit electromagnetic fields, both which could interfere with medical devices, pacemakers and defibrillators. Digging a little deeper, medical devices have sensors that may react to magnets or radio waves. The recent notice warns users about “the magnets inside” all four iPhone 12 models and MagSafe accessories. Apple also says that iPhone 12 versions contain more magnets than prior iPhone models, but they don’t pose a greater risk of magnetic interference with medical devices than earlier models. CNN asked Apple about why itâs only now expanding on the safety guidance, but as of this recording, the news outlet did not get a response.
