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.

This is most likely carpal tunnel syndrome. I’m guessing you text a lot. Using just a couple of fingers. Your body responds to this repetitive stress on the nerve that passes through your wrist can cause it. This is common in people who text a lot. Nothing to do with what type of phone unless the size of the phone might be making your repetitive motions more extreme. The only way to stop it is to stop the motion. Change up ur grip. Or use talk to text.

when it gets severe in people who play piano or type for a living, there is a surgery. But better to change your behavior now. I’m guessing this has been brewing a while even w your old phone but it’s just now giving symptoms.

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.

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.

Every answer has asked if you have visited your doctor and/or taken the phone into Apple service so they can check the device.

What were the results of your visits?

Same question.....what did the Apple techs say when you took the phone in to be tested?

So far, some users are complaining, but no one seems to be doing anything about it.

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

Honey Pot? Me Too's multiplying exponentially. I’d say definitely yes.
