The The American Heart Association researchers found that magnet reversion mode in cardiac devices is triggered when iPhone 12 Pro Max is placed on the skin close to such devices. Devices with Apple’s MagSafe technology can cause clinically significant interference on cardiac devices like pacemakers when they are placed close to these devices or on the skin, according to a study by The American Heart Association (AHA). "Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max MagSafe technology can cause magnetic interference on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and has the potential to inhibit life-saving therapy," AHA said. The AHA researchers found that magnet reversion mode in CIED is triggered when iPhone 12 Pro Max is placed on the skin close to a CIED. The iPhone 12 Pro Max was directly placed on the skin of these patients that resulted in magnetic interference in 100% patients.
