iPhone 6 Plus headache and migraine

Mr. Brewer, I'm glad that you do no have the same reaction to cell phones that some of us do. I am an electronics technician and have worked with all types of electronic devices for over 30 years including over 20 different radars, various radios, UHF links, as well as being a ham radio operator. Radio frequency energy effects are different for some, just like medication reactions are different for some. The power density of an RF field of course is controlled by the type of antenna used, but if we look at a isotropic radiator the power flows outwards from the origin in a spherical pattern and power density can be figured as Power divided by 4 pi r squared. Anyway, being brief, what that says is that the RF field power density decreases significantly as distance increases. Having a phone/radiator in your hand or near your head significantly increases your RF exposure. Belittling someone because they get a headache around cell phones just because you don't is like making fun of someone who has a hypersensitivity or allergy to a medication.

There have been extensive published studies about this so-called "hypersensitivity". Every one of the published studies demonstrates that it doesn't exist. "Victims" get symptoms when they are told there is an RF field when there isn't, and don't get symptoms when they are told there is none when there is. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is absolute nonsense, and junk science to boot.

Which doesn't make you a doctor.

Even I have the same problem with the new 6s. Did you find a solution to your problem?

If you are suddenly getting headaches, you should consult a doctor. They can be a sign of something serious.

I have been experiencing the same thing for the past few months of having the iphone 6 plus. I even start to feel a radiating pain in my hands after holding the phone for too long. It's very strange and only occurs when I am in contact with the phone. Never noticed these issues with my Android. Lately, I've had the main button heat up scalding hot, as well as lots of heat from the screen and back of the phone. It's so hot that I can't even stand to hold it. I'm going to T-Mobile today to figure out what the deal is after reading the rest of the comments here.

Yes, I have a headache within 3-5 min of using my iPhone

Correlation does not prove causality. Sudden unexplained headaches should be evaluated by your doctor.

I have same issue with Apple 6s. I got headache and toothache if i texting or using Iphone in a minutes. I think Apple should withdraw this product because harm to customers health

See your Doctor, soon.

PS in case you did not notice Apple acted on your suggestion. The 6s is no longer on sale.

Go to display & brightness and change your resolution from standard view to zoomed. My headaches haven't happened since. Hope this helps everyone who are still dealing with this!

YOU narrowed the cause down? What did all of your doctors say was the cause? And your migraines started before any of the current type of smartphones were even made.

Wow....sorry for all of the typos. Wrote this quickly...

Can you watch a television with an LED screen?

This is a technical support forum. Not a place where you should be seeking medical advice. If you believe your phone is triggering migraines, then stop using it.
