How dangerous is iPhone 12 radiation?

If you are the owner of an iPhone 12 device, or if members of your family own such a device, you have surely already heard that this model has already been withdrawn from sale in several countries due to the high level of radiation. But how dangerous is the iPhone 12 radiation?

The radiation level is expressed in “SAR” (Specific Absorption Rate) and means the absorption rate of the human body when exposed to electromagnetic radiation from devices.

The Apple company found itself at the center of a scandal after the French authority that controls radio frequencies (ANFR), forced the sale of all iPhone 12 devices, because they emit a level of radiation above the permitted level. In addition to France, it is expected that other countries will take this decision to ban iPhone 12 from the sale in the next period.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on its official website that there is no clear evidence to conclude that a low level of radiation can affect people's health. Moreover, according to the data ANFR (French authority) it was found that during some tests (rejected by the Apple company), that the radiation absorption rate is 5.74 W/kg if iPhone 12 is held in the pocket of the pants or in the hand. We could say that women are somewhat more protected from these radiations. If it is kept in a purse or jacket pocket, the SAR limit is in parameters below 4 W/kg.

So if the tests ANFR are correct, iPhone 12 radiation exceeds by 1.74 W/kg, the standard limit in the European Union (4 W/kg).

Apple says that this level of radiation will be lower after a future iOS update that will reduce the frequency.
