About two months ago, I received an iPhone 12. Recently, we have all heard about this radiation issue with this phone. Does it pose a threat to my health and should I switch to another phone?
According to the World Health Organization, you're fine:
Researchers have conducted a vast number of studies over the last two decades to assess health risks resulting from mobile phones. According to the World Health Organisation, no adverse health effects have so far been established as being caused by mobile phone use.

Apple released an update for iPhone 12 models, which evidently satisfied the French Governments concerns and they have deemed iPhone 12 perfectly safe to use. As long as you stay current with updates on your iPhone, you seemingly have nothing at all to worry about.

In this case, there was nothing to worry about before the update, either. ;-)
That was a report issued by a single country with very stringent limits (France), not a worldwide concern.

I get a little...worked up over this one.

That's OK, we both know there was truly nothing wrong to begin with.

It is the WHO (and science) that says that there is no problem.

Exactly!
Should I switch from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13 because of radiation issues?
