Important safety information for iPhone - Apple Support

The Reuter's story says that that other EU countries are considering following France's lead on this issue. I don't believe that the issue is as safe or straightforward as Apple is claiming.

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.

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

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. ;-)

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

No it started with the 11’s and up and exactly seven months before the Pandemic so you figure it out it’s linked for sure. TMH YAH creator showed me this when it all started. I still cannot hold my phone, just had surgery for cancer that suddenly came after five months of my uterus suddenly feeling hot only when holding my phone in front of me. Soon as I put the phone down about five minutes later it stops. I cannot use earplugs because the radiation was messing with my head making it numb and one nostril kept leaking. I had a head scan and report said that nostril is normal for those taking chemo or radiation therapy, but problem was I never had any of those treatments and still don’t need them .

That was a report issued by a single country with very stringent limits (France), not a worldwide concern.

I know it was a bunch of hooey to begin with. But if someone is truly concerned, the update evidently made the French authorities happy, so it should give users the confidence to not be concerned.

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

That’s not true for America!

Exactly!
