Recently, my IPhone 12 started to get hot and my hands swelled up from radiation burns like in this picture.
After reading Reuters newspaper about How France banned IPhone 12 for giving everyone high amounts of radiation,
im starting to think buying Iphones isn’t a great idea,
iPhone 12
Just for the sake of adding some actual truth to this nonsense:
At its basic, only the iPhone 12 is a concern. Jean-Noël Barrot of France said the iPhone 12’s radiation levels are “slightly higher” than EU standards but “significantly lower than levels where scientific studies consider there may be consequences for users. But the rule is the rule.”
So, even their complaint isn't for worrying about the levels an iPhone 12 emits, but only that it slightly exceeds the allowed maximum. Apple says a software update will fix the problem.
The World Health Organization states the radiation produced by cellphones cannot directly damage DNA and is different from stronger types of radiation like X-rays or ultraviolet light.
Overall, it's still much ado about nothing. We are subject to such radiation every single day. Electromagnetic radiation is also called blackbody radiation. Here's just a partial list of the types of things that emit such radiation:
I thought the fourth from the bottom was particularly interesting. Hmm, 8 billion humans, not to mention all other mammals on Earth, emitting electromagnetic radiation all day, every day. And the last one is also a major point. The entire Earth emits the same radiation. No one can get away from that. At least, not without getting on a spaceship and leaving the planet. Which isn't a good plan since you are then subject to far greater amounts of radiation outside of the Earth's protective magnetic field.

It is indeed. I was able to find the stock photo the OP used in about 10 seconds of searching. The photo the OP used in his claim of radiation burns from an iPad 4 in a different post took me slightly longer at 20 seconds to find the stock photo used.
I’m a bit late but you are incredibly wrong,iPhones and any other device such as it cannot and will not ever give you a radiation burn as the waves emitted are on the lower end of the EMF spectrum (radio waves) unless your phone somehow emits xray or gamma radiation you were not burned by radiation,I’m not a professional but I am a hobbyist that is very knowledgeable and I know for certain you did not get a radiation burn from your phone
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
We want to make sure you reach the right team for help with your device. We recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support.
And you're full of it. I found the source of this image in less than a minute.
Perhaps, as you seem to have radiation issues from other devices, it might be time to seek medical advice. Although, I must say, the issue on your hand does seem to be worse after the recent news article.
How do I prevent radiation burns on my ha… - Apple Community
Eh, look at that, your hand is famous on the internet.
Rubbish, why don't you show a picture of your hand instead of some exaggerated photo.
Funny how you just has this happen right after the article came out.
That's bunk.
Wonder if Apple's legal team would be interested in the false public statements being made by the OP...?
At the very least, a letter from them would seem to be appropriate.
Now, that would be a great way to deal with Internet trolls, wouldn't it. I like it.
I sent a note to the moderators regarding this false claim.
iPhone 12 gave me Radiation burns
