Getting electric shocked when charging iPhone 16

I just bought an iPhone 16 a week ago and whenever I charge my phone, I get electric shock from the camera button it’s very disturbing and painful. What is the issue????

Yes, I was experiencing electric shocks from the camera button and body initially just tingling, but it eventually became quite unsafe. I tried changing chargers, wires, and accessories, but nothing worked. The real issue turned out to be improper grounding (earthing) in my home. Once an electrician checked and fixed the earthing and electrical lines, the shocks stopped completely.


I highly recommend getting your home’s grounding checked if you’re facing similar issues. It might not seem serious at first, but poor grounding can damage your devices over time. Better to be safe and address it early.
