Why do you think my hand hurts after using my iphone?

I purchased my new Iphone 4 months ago, and since then, I have been experiencing hand pain, numbness, and tingling. This pain does goes away when I stop using my phone for an extended period of time. This pain only occurs while I actively use the phone and a few minutes afterward. I have assessed all other possible causes and concluded that it is directly related to the use of my iPhone. I have used Apple products since 2015 and have never had this issue. I believe this problem is directly related to the radiation that is emitted from the newer iPhones and its network connection to 5G. Previously I was using an Iphone 11 that never connected to 5G, I am not sure if its processor has the capability to access 5G network but ultimately since I have upgraded I have been experiencing this pain. This discomfort has negatively impacted my life in many ways and I am strongly considering to stop using Apple products.

I am experiencing sever hand pain after using the new IPhone 15.

It also heats up so much when I’m charging it that I cannot touch it, i I never had these issues with my previous iPhones or Samsung phones.

I believe this is to do with 5G, it’s not Carpel or Repetitive strain. This has started since I got the new iPhone.

the pain is getting unbearable and I wish could send the phone back and stick to my previous IPhone 13, I used that all the time with no issues.

i feel this new phone is a health hazard.

It could be the MagSafe magnets. They are very strong. No other iPhones before the 12 series and android phones use MagSafe magnets. If you tried holding an iPhone 11 series (11, pro, pro max) or older the same way and do not experience any pain in your hands, muscles or deep in your bones, then it could be the MagSafe magnets.

Um… no.

I am also experiencing this same issue with the iPhone 15 pro max. I don’t hold the phone anymore where possible. Everyday for the past two weeks my both hands are in so much pain with a burning sensation, now I don’t hold the phone as much it subsides. I’m not sure what to do, I’ve been using apple since the first iPhone. Do I go back to my iPhone 8 or can I switch off the 5g?

I had the old iphone 8 for years and just traded it in, in February for the 15. Since then every time i use the new phone, my fingers and hands go numb and tingly and feel like they are burning! It feels as if something is coming through the phone. Even typing right now on the phone my hand is hurting! I'm not sure what is going on! Please help. I also notice that the phone gets extremely hot when i'm charging it.

What did the techs at the Apple Store or authorized service shop say when you took the phone to them for testing?

I am on the xr and guess I’m just going to stick with it till it dies now, unless a new version of iPhone changes this issue for me. Will keep trying the new ones just in case

It’s not just the newer phones. It’s the phone. I have a 13 pro max for 3 yrs come June. This burning sensation started last year. Glad to know that I’m not the only one having this issue.

I have this issue and it’s not carpal tunnel. Maybe you have experienced the excruciating pain the the rest of the 20 or so are.
