France's radiation watchdog has banned sales of Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone 12 after tests that it said showed the smartphone breached European radiation exposure limits.
The Agence Nationale des Frequences (ANFR) said on Tuesday the model's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) - a measure of the rate of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body from a piece of equipment - was higher than legally allowed.
I really want to see someone fund/perform an experiment, that would hopefully put any doubts to rest. It might take 10-20 years to do but it would be worth it:
Create 2 completely shielded rooms. In one of the rooms, completely blast the inside of it with 5G, 4G, All the Gs, Wi-Fi, whatever 24/7. Every single kind of EMR that anyone has doubts of. You can even include future spectrum, whatever. Run it at 3x-5x the amplitude of anything anyone could reasonably expect to come across in the world.
Now, Using only organic and living material (mice, monkeys, plants, single-celled organisms, humans, whatever): confirm which one of them has the EMR turned on. If EMR was dangerous you should obviously see some negative effects. Take as much time as necessary to confirm your findings.
THEN maybe we can stop all this nonsense and point back to the study. Except I know some people would say "You tested 300 GHz, what about 301.5 GHz!!!! That one is totally dangerous!"

Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:
"I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select 'Run As Administrator...' What does it mean?! What do I do?!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!"
"I got an error on the page! It says 'Password incorrect' What does that mean? How do I fix it?" "Have you tried using the correct password?"
I mean…. sure but if youre going to invest that much in high speed massive storage devices to do tethered shooting you’re maybe someone who uses an actual camera instead of a phone? That adds huge benefits like wide aperture and multiple lenses.
Your battery will die before you fill the internal storage. Attaching external storage occupies the charging port.
I think that installing new versions often means that particular services need to be restarted. Rather than implement logic to restart relevant services, it probably just says "fuck it, reboot".
oh ffs. Emitting electromatic radiation does not mean radioactive.
And besides the point there is absolutely 0 evidence to indicate EMR is harmful to humans, unless it is of high enough magnitude to cause burns. Or short enough wavelength to be ionizing. None of which is even close to being an issue in any cellular device
It takes 35.5 minutes to transfer 128GB over USB 2.0, not 24 hours.
128GB of 4k 60fps video on the iphone is roughly 5-6 hours of video. Considering MicroSD cards under ideal conditions can only write at roughly 1.5x USB 2.0 speed, you're not really saving a whole lot of time. Especially considering that sustained writes cause a lot of heat in those cards and throughput is drastically reduced within under a minute of transfer time. No idea where you got the 24h empty time from, maybe there's something wrong with your adapter.
That is absolutely a valid reason to regulate EMR, as interference is totally a thing if you have too many devices using overlapping frequencies, etc.
Unfortunately, France is making a big stink for the stupid reasons instead: https://www.reuters.com/technology/why-has-france-banned-sales-apples-iphone-12-2023-09-13/
