iPhone 6 plus Hand pain after use

One minor overlooked feature helps me a lot.

You can double-tap the Home Button (without clicking it) and it will slide the screen down, so you can reach buttons at the top of the screen easier with your thumb. I have adapted to using it when operating the phone one-handed.

This feature may need to be turned on under Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reachability

It may not help your hand stress, but every little trick can make a difference.

i have the same experience with my iPhone 5s. Plus my thumbs have developed knots on them that hurt terribly. I have begun to think the phone is emanating an energy that causes the burn and tingling in my hands.

I'd probably consult a doctor about that. The only way you could test it on your own for sure would be to go away from using it at all for a period of time (until the pain goes away) and then start using it again. While the iPhone is completely safe and passes all FCC regulations (or similar other countries) there are rare cases of people being "allergic" to different electronic signals.

I have been using iPhone since the first iPhone out in 2006. But only this time I really regret that I switch to iPhone 6 plus. I purchased iPhone 6 plus in April last year, I am a right handed so I hold my phone with my left hand. It didn't happen immediately but after 7 months I started to feel fatigue on my left hand and wrist then it grows to my index and middle finger and the pain rapidly growing to the palm of my hand. I have taken a comprehensive blood test yesterday and will see a doctor for the result on Monday. I will be posting it here what happen to my hand. I may be contacting Apple once the diagnosed came out.

Just out of curiosity, what do you plan on contacting Apple about?

"Just out of curiosity, what do you plan on contacting Apple about?"

1. To see what is their opinion about my case.

2. If I can return my iPhone6 for refund or exchange it to other smaller and much more convenient to hold version.

At any point you can get trade in value for your iPhone and get credit toward a new one. They will not give you full value as no one is forced to buy the largest iPhone available when there were two smaller sizes being sold at the time. If you want a new one, go trade yours in. No need to wait for a docfor and call them up.

I understand, no one force anyone to even buy anything from Apple. Will contact them. Thank you.

I have iPhone six and have felt pain in my middle finger joint. It is almost like there is a radiation or energy going into my finger from the phone when I hold it for prolonged periods of time. I googled to see if this was happening to anyone else and was surprised to see many comments about the matter. I honestly do not think it has to do with the size or shape of the phone. I really think it has to do with a energy or some sort of waves coming-out or into the phone but I do not know much about this stuff. I just thought I would share my experience and warn people that it may not be good what ever it is.

I believe I am sensitive to the signals that track motion of the phone, GPS calls, and wifi, I went to my massage therapist with the pain complaints in the arms, hands and fingers, and he said this is not an unusual complaint from his clients. His take is that the energies to complete those functions are absorbed into the fascia.

After a deep myofascial release massage, I feel better but his advice is to avoid touching the iPhone for extended periods of time of which I've done and indeed the burning and pain subsides. The company I work for provides free iWatches to track activity. I passed on the freebie because the iWatch would be continuously touching my skin and it would be another conflict for me, Pain vs Desire to use to tool.

I'm experiencing similar issues. Aches wherever the phone (6+) is located. Left, right hand, head, ect. Even left it on my leg while on bluetooth last night and noticed my shin started to ache. Something's not right here. The aches subside when Im not near the phone.

You are not 'sensitive to the signals' from the phone. I am sure the pain you feel is real and is not an unusual complain, but it has absolutely nothing to do with any 'signals' from the phone. Your massage therapist is passing off a load of bull on you, though they're probably not aware of it. This is what's called "woo-woo medicine".

Please see a real doctor about your pain.

All I can say is trust your gut feeling. For me, my gut is saying to limit the exposure of the phone from being in a close proximity to my body. No one will say the truth about it even if it was dangerous. Definitely not the cell phone sellers. These things are too new to know the long term effects of them. If your body is signaling you with pain or other feeling I would listen to it. The body is a very intelligent organism.

Trust your body and your gut feeling. Listen to what it tells you. Even on this message board there are employees whose job it is to monitor and direct discussion to promote financial interests.

And pain tells you to see a medical doctor, not massage therapist who has no grasp of science. That would be like me going to my hairdresser when I have a toothache.
