iPhone electric shock?

I was playing a game on my iPhone 13 Pro Max with my hand near the speaker grill and my wired Apple headphones were in as well. Everything was going good until out of nowhere I kept getting a small surge of electricity through my palm and fingers and I have no clue as to why this is happening. Please help?

Electric shock during contact with camera control button while charging iPhone 16 Pro Max If i'm charging my iPhone 16 Pro Max with a fast charger and i touch the camera control button, i get an electric shock. Probably not good but wanted to post it here. There is absolutely no reason that this should happen in a device that costs this much. I should never be shocked in this way, ever.

Electricity flow on iPhone 16 pro max while charging Hello All, I am writing to report an issue with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. As this is my first iPhone, I would appreciate some clarification on this matter. Upon charging the device, I have noticed that electric current flows over the mobile, which I can feel when pressing the left and right buttons. This sensation is quite irritating and has not been resolved by the iCare support team. I have contacted the iCare support team, but they have provided no satisfactory explanation for this issue. Furthermore, I have observed that this problem occurs in all iPhone series used for customer demonstrations at Imagine and Aptronix, which are premium resellers of Apple. Therefore, I believe that this is a systemic issue rather than a defect in a specific model. Given that this problem is affecting multiple devices, I am hesitant to submit my device for R&D support. I would appreciate it if Apple could provide a comprehensive explanation for this issue and take appropriate action to address it. It is concerning that this issue has not been addressed by Apple in any official articles or publications. One support representative suggested using a leather case to mitigate the risk of shock, but this solution is not a permanent solution. I am concerned about the potential consequences of this issue, such as the possibility of severe shock causing injury to the user. It is also possible that Apple may require end users to undergo CPR training in the event of an emergency. I have several questions that I would like to ask the Apple team: If this is a common issue, why has it not been addressed by Apple? What measures are Apple taking to ensure the safety and protection of their users? Apple should take immediate action to address this issue and ensure the safety and well-being of their users. Is there any reasonable evidence to support this claim? Is this a feature or what?

Static Electricity Hello, I’ve noticed when I hold my IPhone 13 pro and I touch light switches in the apartment, I get shocked. This never used to happen so I am trying to figure out why it’s happening. I have an USB C charger and a mag safe charger.
