Can lightning hurt my iphone?

I was filming a storm tonight and the lightning was bad and when It flashed it like sent a wave or static thing across my phone. Did that hurt it?

If it gets into the power supply that is charging it, yes. The power surge from a lightning bolt can easily damage or even destroy an electronic device such as an iPhone.

  • Will transferring music with 'CopyTrans Manager' hurt my iPhone? I see its an alternative to iTunes. I hate using iTunes. CopyTrans Manager apparently lets you copy past music and videos onto the iPhone… Is it safe though? will my iPhone 5c identify it as a foreign intrusion and kill my iphone? Kinda like how it kills your iphone if you try to jailbreak it. any advice?
  • Will charging my Iphone X i it's case hurt the battery? So I know it's recommended to take off a case while charging your phone to reduce excessive heat. However I finally got around to buying an Otterbox for my X. Anyone who owes Otterboxes knows taking them on and off can be a pain and will sooner or later hurt the rubber outside and put strain on the plastic clips and break those eventually as well. So knowing all that, is it a big deal? Or should I try to keep the room i'm charging the phone in cool?
  • Why does it hurt when you put sharpie on your skin & then take a picture with flash on the iPhone? Okay, so there's this thing at my school where you do this: 1. Draw a black sharpie square on your hand 2. Take off your phone case 3. Put your phone camera directly on the skin where your sharpie mark is 4. Turn on the flash on your phone and then take a picture. It hurts and stings a little bit. It's like a small shock. Why is that?
  • Why does charging an iPhone over night hurt it, and how can I help it? Okay. Does my battery die quickly because I charge it over night? And does it kinda mess it up? I've heard it does that. If so, then how and when do I charge my iPhone? How can I make it so my battery life lasts longer?
