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

i have this issue too. my iPhone xr is fine when but i have tried the 12, 13, or 14 i have had the issue. has anyone found a case that prevents the tingling in your hands? the ones i tried didn't help

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 have this same issue, ie., burning sensation in both hands when being held. I know that Apple state that it conforms to what’s regulatory, but to have the same people have the same issue is weird. I’ve had my 13Pro Max for 3 years this June. This burning sensation has me throwing my phone down or trying to prop my phone up on something in order to view Facebook, etc. It only takes a few seconds when this sensation begins. Now there is a radiation sensation when near my iPad or MacBook. Something evidently is causing this. My third finger is the one that gives me trouble. I remember a recent video of a man asking if anyone else was experiencing the same thing with the third finger. He went to the doctor because of the burning sensation and his doctor told him it was cancer which was caused by the phone’s radiation. The guy had to have surgery in the palm of his hand in the location of the third finger. I turned off 5G to LTE, but yet the burning continues. What’s going on? Anyone else had surgery because of this? It’s a shame because I’ve used Apple products forever.

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 your doctor say when you told them about this?

I am experiencing the exact same. My entire left hand which I use to hold my phone the most is literally burnning and tingling during and after use. I thought I was going crazy.

What did your doctor say?

has anyone had this problem with non apple phones? i don't want to switch but would have to when my xr dies if that's the case. i just bought a refurbed xr as a spare phone and am getting the same issue, even though my main xr is fine. very strange

I have the same issue, I feel like I have damaged my hand and I have been trying to avoid holding my phone or even keeping it in my pocket. Its really disappointing as I was really excited to get this new iPhone 15 Pro Max but now I afraid to touch the thing. I have pain in my left hand but tingling or pins and needles in both arms allot of the time after any use of my phone.

Hi, I can't even use my iPhone anymore without terrible hand pain. I can play the keyboard, work in the garden, and paint, but the minute I try to use my iPhone, my hands suffer so much. It's the craziest thing I've endured. Something is going on with this.

I also have this problem with my wrists and hands hurting, aching, and tingling shortly after using my iphone 13 pro. It feels like my watch is suddenly too tight. Is anyone also experiencing this with their MacBook Air? I can't type on it anymore without having pain almost immediately. I thought it could be carpal tunnel but this forum makes me wonder, since I can type on my Dell laptop for long periods without pain.

Me too!!! I am convinced it’s my phone I cannot find any other reason. I had the ambulance out one night because my little finger and hand went completely numb. I kept telling my husband it’s my phone but he thought I was crazy! Is it dangerous??

When the ambulance took you to the ER, what did the doctor tell you?

Can you say Honey Pot? Me Too multiplying exponentially.

Oh, indeed. But, sometimes, I like to stir the honey pot. Not, I admit, one of my finer character traits. But to balance it out, I never kick puppies. ;-)

I am feeling pain in my hand too and just wanted to ask you if you see any changes after you turned off 5G?

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