Charging iPhone while sleeping

Intro to Apple Warning about iPhone Charging

In its latest iPhone user guide, Apple instructs users not to sleep next to their charging device. The company stresses that charging should occur on a flat tabletop, avoiding thick duvets, beds, bed textiles or pillows. Why? Apple explains that this practice could expose the device to prolonged heat, which might result in burns, discomfort, fires and overheating-related injuries.

Statement from Apple

Apple says: Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device, its power adapter or a wireless charger when it’s operating or connected to a power source for long periods of time.

Refrain from placing a device, power adapter or wireless charger beneath a blanket, pillow or your body while they’re connected to a power source. Ensure that your iPhone, the power adapter and any wireless charger remain in a well-ventilated area during usage or charging. Additionally, Apple advises charging iPhones in a “well-ventilated area” due to the heat generated during the charging process.

If this heat doesn’t have enough space to escape, it can potentially harm the battery or the device. Therefore, ensuring proper ventilation while charging your iPhone is crucial.
