Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Safety Tip:

How Much Will Turning Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Reduce Radiation?

This SAR chart reveals how turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max can significantly reduce your exposure to radiation. Our SAR comparison chart shows that by simply turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmitters, you can lower the RF radiation exposure to your head by 17.7%, and you can lower exposure to the body by 26.8%, 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 45.4% according to the FCC SAR report for device number BCG-E8141A.

Key Takeaways

  • Children vs Adults: Children have higher SAR levels due to thinner skulls and developing tissues, making them more vulnerable to radiation.
  • Wi-Fi Impact: Simultaneous use of cellular and Wi-Fi transmission increases SAR levels for all age groups.
  • Precautionary Measures: Using radiation protection products like QuantaCase can help mitigate these risks, especially for younger users.

By understanding these differences, parents and guardians can make informed decisions to better protect their children from excessive microwave radiation exposure, emphasizing the need for safer smartphone usage practices and protective accessories like QuantaCase.

Children vs Adults Radiation Exposure

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-14-pro-max (FCC ID BCG-E8141A) are as follows:

  • 1.15 W/kg when held at the head with cellular transmission only
  • 1.07 W/kg when worn on the body with cellular transmission only
  • 1.03 W/kg when used as a Hotspot or Airplay
  • 1.4 W/kg when held at the head with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
  • 1.46 W/kg when worn on the body with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
  • 1.50 when used as a Hotspot simultaneously with other transmitters active.

FCC SAR Report A2651 (USA), BCG-E8141A bcg-e8141a-a2650-iphone-14-pro-max-sar-level-report

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max SAR test reports filed with the Federal Communications Commission FCCID BCG-E8141A— the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is: 1.15 watts per kilogram (w/kg) at your head and 1.07 W/kg when worn on your body. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max hotspot SAR is 1.028 W/kg, and its SAR for max simultaneous transmission (cellular plus Wi-Fi) is 1.495 W/kg when used as a hotspot simultaneously with other transmitters active.  There is also an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max SAR rating for head and body simultaneous transmission usage (cellular plus Wi-Fi).  Simultaneous transmission at your head absorbs radiation at 1.396 W/kg, and simultaneous usage at the body is 1.457 W/kg.

It’s official, size does matter…. Well, a little, according to Apple! The latest Apple iPhone SAR report found that “The Housing size is shown to have a small impact on the SAR and E-field values. It can be observed that the housing with a smaller size will leak the most from the side, but the SAR numbers are still less than 0.01% of the SAR limit of 1.6 W/Kg.”

So people that bought the smaller iPhone might be getting more than they bargained for, like just a little more radiation penetrating the brain.   How do these little-screen iPhone radiation leakers compare to the big-screen iPhone models? Let’s put the size difference into perspective. 

The following graph shows the radiation surrounding a small and large iPhone form factor. As stated in the report, “It can be observed that the housing with a smaller size will leak the most from the side. “.  This isn’t readily available radiation exposure information as it takes a fair amount of digging to find the official reports. However, I think this is something every consumer has a right to know that the form factor of a phone can influence the amount of radiation the body absorbs.

 

 

Now on to the actual SAR values for the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Versions: A2894 (International); A2651 (USA), BCG-E8141A; A2893 (Canada, Japan), BCG-E8154A; A2896 (China, Hong Kong) and A2895 (Russia), BCG-E8156A;

It was found that, “The Housing size is shown to have small impact on the SAR and E-field values. It can be
observed that the housing with smaller size will leak the most from the side, but the SAR
numbers are still less than 0.01% of SAR limit of 1.6 W/Kg.”.
