Apple also advised customers to exercise common sense to prevent instances where their skin comes into direct contact with the device or charger.

“Don’t sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s connected to a power source. Keep your iPhone, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging,” the advisory reads.

The advisory also urged individuals to be cautious, especially if they have a medical condition that affects their ability to sense heat on their skin.
