Shitty headline, it should clarify that it’s EM radiation.
That doesn’t clarify that much, gamma is EM radiation
I think the point is probably more that “radiation” is a lie. Knowing people will think iPhones are made with uranium, and certainly not think “oh, probably just infra red radiation”
France isn’t exactly timely here. It’s on the market for 3 years?! Now they ban it?
What’s the concern with EM radiation? Can anyone fill me in?
All mobile phones use radios; if they didn’t, then they wouldn’t work as wireless phones. There are country-specific regulations on the power and radio frequencies used by these phones, so they don’t generate excessive heat or ionize, both of which (but especially ionization) would be bad.
Contrary to what the health influencers on Instagram say, commercially available mobile phones have zero effect on human health. That said, apparently the iPhone 12 was caught violating France’s limit on how much power its radio was using. How it took them years to notice is not mentioned anywhere.
Do you have a source about phones having zero affect on health?
iPhone 12, eh?
I think the more important part of the order is the “fix existing handsets” bit…?
