Title: France bans iPhone 12: Radiation concerns
Lead:
Recently, Noel Barrow, France's minister of digital transformation and telecommunications, announced that Apple must suspend the sale of the iPhone 12 in France due to excessive radiation levels. Barrow said he would wait for Apple's response within two weeks or order a recall of all iPhone12s on sale. The move has attracted worldwide attention and discussion, raising concerns about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on human health.
Details revealed: Radiation in focus
The French government's decision stemmed from test results showing that the specific absorption rate of the iPhone 12 was slightly higher than the level allowed by law. The SAR value reflects the energy absorption ratio of electromagnetic waves, and the higher the value, the greater the impact on the human body. Compared with the US standard of 1.6W/Kg, the European standard is 2.0W/Kg, and the SAR value of the iPhone 12 exceeds the allowable range, causing a negative reaction.
Apple's response and outlook
After the French government's ban was issued, Apple responded quickly.
The company says it has been certified by a number of international bodies to ensure that the iPhone complies with all applicable SAR regulations and standards worldwide. In addition, Apple has provided several laboratory test results to the French government to prove the compliance of its products.
Barrow said he believes software updates are an effective way to solve the radiation problem. However, this view has been questioned by experts and the public, arguing that software updates do not completely solve the problem, but should start from the perspective of product design and manufacturing.
Global sales adjustment: Four iPhones face takedown
In addition to the French market, Apple also stopped selling four iPhones worldwide, including the iPhone 14 ProMax, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 iPhone mini and iPhone 12.
However, these products may continue to be sold on e-commerce platforms until inventory runs out, and some of them may be refurbished.
Possible hazards: The potential effects of radiation on human health
The radiation of mobile phone electromagnetic waves may have many effects on human health, which deserves our attention and deep consideration:
Increased skin heat: When electromagnetic radiation enters human tissues, part of the energy is absorbed and converted into heat energy, resulting in an increase in local skin temperature.
Cell changes: Long-term exposure to high-intensity electromagnetic radiation may lead to changes in cell structure and function, including changes in cell membrane permeability, DNA damage, oxidative stress, etc.
Physiological functions are affected: Studies have shown that long-term exposure to mobile phone electromagnetic waves may have a certain impact on the physiological functions of the human body, such as decreased sleep quality, decreased immunity, and impaired nervous system function.
Effects on children: Children's physical and physiological development is not yet mature, and their sensitivity to electromagnetic waves is high. Long-term exposure to mobile phone electromagnetic waves may have an impact on children's brain development and cognitive abilities.
Summary:
France's move to ban the sale of the iPhone 12 has sparked discussion and reflection around the world. The potential impact of mobile phone radiation on human health has become a hot topic, and it has also prompted technology companies to pay more attention to user health and safety in product design and manufacturing.
As events unfold, it is expected that Apple and relevant international agencies will work together to find solutions to ensure the security and compliance of mobile phone products.
