Apple iPhone 12 Safety Tip: Turning Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Reduces Radiation.

This SAR chart reveals how turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your Apple iPhone 12 can significantly reduce your exposure to radiation. Our SAR comparison chart shows that by simply turning off these transmitters, you can lower the RF radiation exposure to your head by 15.2%, and you can lower exposure to the body by 23.4%, when considering these differences between cellular-only (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth OFF) and simultaneous use exposure (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ON), a wise way to reduce excessive phone radiation is to tap off unnecessary transmitters when not in use. Additionally, when using your phone as a hotspot, turning off Bluetooth can reduce your exposure by up to 30.6% according to the FCC SAR report for device number BCG-E3542A.

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of a mobile device measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body during device usage.

The SAR values for the iphone-12 (FCC ID BCG-E3542A) are as follows:

  • 1.17 W/kg when held at the head with cellular transmission only
  • 1.19 W/kg when worn on the body with cellular transmission only
  • 1.19 W/kg when used as a Hotspot or Airplay
  • 1.38 W/kg when held at the head with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
  • 1.55 W/kg when worn on the body with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
  • 1.55 when used as a Hotspot simultaneously with other transmitters active.

France Orders Apple IPhone 12 Sales Halted Over Radiation

French regulators on Tuesday ordered Apple to halt sales of the iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation, and to fix existing handsets.

The French agency that regulates radio frequencies, the ANFR, said testing found that the model emits more electromagnetic waves susceptible to be absorbed by the body than permitted.

The ANFR said it “ordered Apple to remove the iPhone 12 from the French market from September 12 due to the model exceeding the limit” for electromagnetic absorption by the body.

It said accredited labs had found absorption of electromagnetic energy by the body at 5.74 watts per kilogram during tests simulating when the phone was being held in the hand or kept in a pocket.

The European standard is a specific absorption rate of 4.0 watts per kilogram in such tests.

“Concerning phones already sold, Apple must in the briefest of delays take corrective measures to bring the affected phones into compliance,” said the ANFR in a statement on its website.
