    Some doctors have issued a warning, saying the new iPhone 12 series contain stronger magnets that could disrupt the functioning of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
    They say the warning also can apply to other devices such as iPods or MP3 players if held too close to pacemakers or ICDs.
    They recommend that electronic devices not be stored in shirt pockets, over-the-shoulder bags, or other items close to a person’s heart.
