I've heard about EMPs and their potential to disrupt electronic devices. I'm curious to know if they actually work on phones. Can EMPs really affect phone functionality, or is it just a myth?

During an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), the functionality of these devices can be compromised if they are connected to an electrical power supply.

However, if they are not powered during the EMP event, there is a chance that they may remain unaffected.

Despite this potential resilience, these devices ultimately rely on a functioning infrastructure for communication purposes.
