France's iPhone 12 Ban Exposes Apple's Radiation Risks

France has banned the sale of iPhone 12, claiming that the device emits electromagnetic radiation levels above EU standards. The country's radiation watchdog, ANFR, found that the iPhone 12's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) exceeded the allowed limit. However, ANFR stated that a software update could resolve the issue. France's minister in charge of digital issues noted that while the iPhone 12's radiation levels are higher than EU standards, they are still considered significantly lower than dangerous levels. Apple has rejected ANFR's claims, stating that the iPhone 12 is compliant with global radiation standards and will contest the ban.

Radiation Levels Compared: iPhone's Rank Among Mobile Phones.

Mobile phones emit radiation that can be harmful to our health, with Android phones topping the list of devices with high radio frequency exposure, according to Germany’s Federal Office for Radiation. A review of 46 case-control health studies found that 1,000 hours of lifetime mobile use, or about 17 minutes per day over a 10-year period, is associated with a statistically significant 60% increase in brain cancer. However, the UN’s World Health Organisation says that “no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use.” The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G, Samsung's Galaxy Note10, and the Samsung Galaxy A80 emit the least radiation, while the Motorola Edge, OnePlus 6T, and Sony Xperia XA2 Plus emit the most. iPhones emit a comparable amount of radiation to other popular models.

Radiation Levels of Popular Mobile Phones Compared

Some mobile devices, particularly Android phones, can emit high levels of radio frequency (RF) energy, which can be harmful to human health. The specific absorption rate (SAR) measures how much energy is absorbed per unit mass by the human body when exposed to RF. The legal limit for SAR in the US is 1.6 watts/kg. The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G, Samsung's Galaxy Note10, and the Samsung Galaxy A80 are among the phones that emit the least radiation, while the Motorola Edge, OnePlus 6T, and Sony Xperia XA2 Plus are among the phones that emit the most radiation. The iPhone falls somewhere in the middle. Experts recommend using hands-free options to reduce exposure to RF energy.

Mysterious Blood-Red Arc Appears in Scandinavian Sky.

A rare stable auroral red arc (SAR) appeared in the sky above Denmark on March 23, caused by oxygen molecules in the upper atmosphere becoming superheated by Earth's ring current system during a powerful geomagnetic storm triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the sun. SARs occur frequently but are normally invisible to humans, and only become visible when strong solar storms weaken the magnetosphere. The SAR coincided with the most powerful geomagnetic storm to hit Earth for six years and was not the only unusual light show observed during the recent solar storm, with the aurora-like phenomenon STEVE also visible across the United States and parts of the United Kingdom.
