French agency says the iPhone 12 emits too much radiation, tells Apple to withdraw it
A French government watchdog agency has ordered Apple to withdraw the iPhone 12 from the market, saying it emits levels of electromagnetic radiation that are too high
Electromagnetic radiation, as in visible light, radio signals or as this Iphone has a fucking RMBK melting its core inside?
Someone has a link to those test they performed to claim this?
I call it bullshit
Microwaves. It's microwaves.
Phones are slightly above FM radio and slightly below microwaves in terms of wavelength.
They're a non-ionizing radiation emitter.
The radiation emitted by phones ain't gonna hurt ya.
Can't you read? The article says the EU has a limit of 4 watts per kilogram and the device produces more than that. Scientists agreed on that limit.
How is it 2023, when everybody uses microwave radios for communication constantly, and there are still people that don't understand the absolute basics, like the difference between radio/light radiation and ionising radiation? And how important transmit power is to how dangerous or not a radio wave is?
They do teach this stuff in schools still, right?
It boggles my mind. It's not some complex difficult topic, it's like not knowing how electricity works, or how your body works. This is basic child level knowledge that everybody interacts with every single day, so it behoves them to understand it at least at an introductory level.
To be fair, it's not completely made-up. There is a body of evidence that suggests that even non-ionizing EM radiation may have so-called "biological effects" in humans.
Organizations like the Environmental Health Trust have been banging the "cellphones cause infertility and cancer" drum for years, and cites numerous studies on their website.
Of course, much of this research is of questionable relevance to real-world use cases involving actual phones and actual humans as opposed to, say, a bunch of rats being exposed to low-power microwaves in a lab for hours on end, but it exists nonetheless.
Environmental Health Trust is a single issue organization founded to specifically claim that radio waves are dangerous.
They are alarmists bereft of credible arguments and should be treated as such.
EHTrust are mad as a box of frogs. They claim that phones cause cancer, which is something that all major cancer research charities dispute. Nothing they say can be taken seriously.

Are you?
I call BS on you understanding what radiation is...
Eh
That took them 3 years? Lol
They suspect it was increased with a software update because it was ok before the recent tests.
France is really a strange country
Oui
C'est pas faux
The agency said the iPhone 12 met the threshold when radiation levels were assessed for a phone kept in a jacket or in a bag.

Electromagnetic waves are radiation, yes.
Sure. All EM waves are radiation, including visible light.
Non ionizing radiation isn’t an issue though so nobody uses “radiation” for it. When you say “radiation” that’s pretty much always talking about ionizing radiation from radioactive sources.
The iPhone does not emit any ionizing radiation.
"Yes"
Ionizing radiation is dangerous. Visible light, infrared, microwave and radio waves are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. None of which are the ionizing type that actually cause cancer. Putting nonionizing radiation in the same category as gamma rays is idiotic and thats basically what they're doing.
Meanwhile French nuclear reactors …
French agency oh Noooooooo 😂😂😂
