FollowApple has issued a warning to phone users, alerting them to the potential dangers of sleeping next to a charging phone. The business emphasises the value of safe phone charging in a service announcement and underscores the dangers of dozing next to a gadget that is plugged in.
There is a chance of fire, electric shock, injury, and damage to the phone and property, among other dangers. Apple strongly urges consumers to make sure their phones are charging while connected to a cable in an area with appropriate ventilation in order to prevent these risks.

Apple emphasises the possible risk of using chargers from other manufacturers, particularly less expensive models that might not adhere to the same safety requirements as Apple's branded chargers. Apple suggests consumers choose "Made for iPhone" cords that follow global safety standards in order to allay any worries about this.
While third-party cables and power adapters that adhere to USB 2.0 or later standards and follow applicable safety rules can be used to charge an iPhone, the firm warns that certain adapters may not do so, creating risks of injury or even death. Additionally, it emphasises the necessity of immediately throwing away broken chargers and the significance of avoiding charging phones close to liquids or water.
Apple suggests putting safety first by carefully adhering to their recommendations. Users may protect themselves, their phones, and their surroundings from potential dangers by following these tips.
