I have recently had a heart pacemaker implanted. I have an Iphone 12Pro and last year Apple warned that this phone could disrupt the work of the pacemaker if held within 12 inches of the device. This is because of the magnetic fields coming from the phone. My question is: would the Iphone 14 pro be any safer?

Advise given using ASC is not provided by Apple. I suggest for further inquiry, you use the "Contact Apple Support" link provided in the previously referenced Support Article.
But the cardiologist only said that he knew the IPhone 12 was not a good match with a pacemaker but did not know if the 14 was safer….he advised me to ask Apple.
